Abstract

Background: Whether hematoma expansion after aneurysmal rupture is always a sign of rerupture remains unclear. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors of hematoma expansion unrelated to aneurysmal rerupture after endovascular embolization for ruptured cerebral aneurysms. Methods: We included patients who underwent endovascular embolization for ruptured cerebral aneurysms within 48 h after onset at our institution between January 2009 and February 2014. The medical records of 70 consecutive patients were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Results: Hematoma expansion unrelated to aneurysmal rerupture occurred in 7 (10%) of 70 patients. Interestingly, four of seven patients had distal anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms. The interval from onset to aneurysm coiling was shorter in patients with hematoma expansion than in those without (P = 0.040). Conclusion: Early embolization of ruptured ACA aneurysms might increase the risk of hematoma expansion unrelated to aneurysmal rerupture because the procedures were conducted under systemic anticoagulation. It would be better to refer the patient for direct clipping if the patient has a distal ACA aneurysm with parenchymal hematoma at interhemispheric fissure. Delayed coil embolization, which means around 12–18 h delayed, might be another option for ruptured distal ACA aneurysms to prevent hematoma expansion.
