ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of microsurgery in primary hospital for the posterior communicating artery aneurysms (PCOAan).
MethodsThe clinical data of 48 patients with PCOAan who underwent microsurgery from January 2008 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
ResultsAll the necks of aneurysms of 48 cases were successfully clipped, Acording to the Glasgow outcome score (GOS), the early curative effects were good in 36 cases (75.0%, GOS 4-5) poor in 10 cases (20.8%, GOS 2-3) and death in 3 cases (2.1%, GOS 1). After the operation was carried out, the operation time was shorten, aneurysm intraoperative rupture rate was lower, postoperative complications were lower, and the average medical expense was reduced; the difference was significant in 24 cases before and after the operation (P<0.05).
ConclusionMicrosurgery for PCOAan is an effective method which should be popularized in primary hospitals.
