Functional Outcome Following Ultra-Early Treatment for Ruptured Aneurysms in Patients with Poor-Grade Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

Approximately 40% of patients with poor-grade aSAH became functionally independent, and approximately half of the patients with poor-grade aSAH who had neither intraventricular hemorrhage with obstructive hydrocephalus nor with brain herniation had good functional outcomes. Although further trials are required to confirm our results, ultra-early surgery may be considered for patients with poor-grade aSAH.
