Risk of ventriculostomy-related hemorrhage in patients with acutely ruptured aneurysms treated using stent-assisted coiling

Abstract

The application of dual antiplatelet therapy in stent-assisted coiling of acutely ruptured aneurysms is associated with an increase in the risk of hemorrhagic complications following ventriculostomy or VP shunt placement, as compared with its use in a coiling procedure without a stent.
