Abstract
Introduction: Ruptured intracranial aneurysm is an urgent diagnostic and
therapeutic condition. Occlusion with coils is the first line treatment for rup-
tured aneurysms and also should be used to prevent re-rupture, potentially
causing severe brain damage. Most aneurysms are subject to this type of
treatment. The risk of intraoperative thromboembolic and haemorrhagic
complications during treatment with coils is very low. Endovascular treat-
ment with coils is therefore a safe and effective method that can prevent short
and long-term haemorrhage. Short and long-term haemorrhage is achieved
by early recanalization of cases with neuro-visualisation. Methods: In this ar-
ticle we present a retrospective analysis of the results of endovascular embo-
lization of 137 patients, from 2017 to the present time, in three hospitals of
Georgia country (Evex hospitals, New hospitals, New-vision University Hos-
pital) with a diagnosis of acute subarachnoid haemorrhage. Results: In our
study, overall postoperative mortality was reported to be 29.9% (41/137 pa-
tients). In 45 patients presenting with Hunt-Hess IV-V, the mortality rate was
51.1% (23/45). According to Raymond-Roy Scale, complete occlusion of
aneurysm occurs in 66% of cases, residual occlusion of neck in 26%, and par-
tial occlusion in 6%. Conclusion: Aneurysm rupture is an urgent clinical con-
dition requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. To prevent aneurysm
re-rupture, operative intervention should be performed quickly. The recom-
mended time interval is within 72 hours, and, if possible, within 24 hours af-
ter aneurysm rupture. Given the spasms typical of subarachnoid haemor-
raghe endovascular coiling of ruptured aneurysms is a first-line treatment
that depends on the angioarchitecture and localization of the aneurysm. The
