Vasospasm as a Complication after Aneurysmal Rupture and Its Relation with Surgical Clipping and Endovascular Coiling among a Georgian Sample

Background: Potentially lethal, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has a bad prognosis for many individuals. Over the past few decades, endovascular and surgical interventions have been developed, including surgical clipping, and endovascular coiling. Patients who have aSAH are also susceptible to delayed cerebral ischemia and cerebral vasospasm. The aim of this study is to compare the outcome of endovascular coiling with surgical clipping in patients with SAH, specifically in relation to prevalence of vasospasm, in the country of Georgia. Method: In this study, we present a retrospective review of the outcomes of 217 patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage who underwent endovascular coiling or surgical clipping. The data were gathered from patients who are admitted to New Vision University Hospital and Caucasus Medical Center in Tbilisi, Georgia, between 2017 and 2022. Results: Vasospasm was prevalent in 217 of the patients who had aneurysmal rupture when they first appeared. Endovascular coiling or strated the most favorable option for treatment is endovascular coiling. However, the treatment choice takes multiple factors into account, and clipping is not ideal for some ruptured aneurysms. Despite the fact that endovascular coiling is usually successful and minimally invasive, complications can occur and additional monitoring and potential surgical intervention are indicated.
