Acute angiographical changes for preventing acute rebleeding on GDC treated cerebral aneurysms were evaluated. From December 2000 to November 2002, 48 total aneurysms in 44 consecutive patients with acute SAH. Acute angiographical evaluations were carried out in 46 aneurysms, including 42 ruptured and 4 unruptured aneurysms. Two cases were excluded because of poor medical condition. In this series, there were no rebleeding cases in acute stage. In the initial embolization for the 46 aneurysms, CO was achieved in eight aneurysms, NR in 15 aneurysms and BF in 23 aneurysms. Acute angiographical observations showed progressive thrombosis in 17 aneurysms (37%). No changes were observed in remaining 29. No recanalization was observed in this series. Only one case of BF, inside the aneurysm bleb was still observed during follow up. Additional embolization was carried out. Progressive thrombosis was frequently observed in GDC treated cerebral aneurysms during acute stage. This angiographical finding seems to show prevention of rebleeding, which is considered important for the management of GDC treatment in acutely ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
