What is the impact of endovascular management on the outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the elderly?
Karamanakos et al. (2010) conducted a study to evaluate the impact of endovascular management on the outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the elderly in Eastern Finland. They found that endovascular management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the elderly is associated with improved outcomes. Compared to neurosurgical clipping, endovascular management was associated with reduced mortality and morbidity, as well as decreased risk of rebleeding. The study concluded that endovascular management should be considered in elderly patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
