One hundred and eighty-one patients with single aneurysms involving the anterior circulation were treated either by wrapping (60 cases) or clipping (121 cases), and 96.1% of them were followed for 10 years. The rate of early rebleeding (less than 6 months) from wrapped aneurysms was 8.6% (confidence interval 1.4% to 15.8%) and the late rebleeding (6 months to 10 years) rate was 1.5% per annum (confidence interval 0.3% to 2.5%/yr). Wrapping an aneurysm offers some protection from rebleeding, particularly during the first 6 months when the risk of rebleeding is high.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
