Background: The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative and postoperative complications and clinical outcome of endovascular coiling (EVT) with neurosurgical clipping (NST) under general anesthesia in the cerebral aneurysm patients older than 60 years.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts, operative reports of patients who underwent EVT or NST at our hospital between January 2006 and August 2008. A total of 181 patients (EVT = 78, NST = 103) were included in this study.
Results: The rate of intraoperative event was higher in EVT than in NST but postoperative complication and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at 6 months did not show statically significance in both groups. Preoperative aneurysm rupture, age and the World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade (WFNS) were the influencing factors for outcome in both groups. Anesthetic agents, body temperature and vasoactive drugs were significantly different between the two groups but the effects of these on the outcome of patients were insignificant.
Conclusions: In EVT and NST, the variables related to the postoperative complications were preoperative aneurysm rupture, age and WFNS. When the elderly patients get these procedures, more close care should be considered postoperatively.

Importance: The risk of procedural clinical complications and the case-fatality rate (CFR) from preventive treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms varies between studies and may depend on treatment modality and risk factors.
Objective: To assess current procedural clinical 30-day complications and the CFR from endovascular treatment (EVT) and neurosurgical treatment (NST) of unruptured intracranial aneurysms and risk factors of clinical complications.
Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, and the Cochrane Database for studies published between January 1, 2011, and January 1, 2017.
The aim of this critical review is to determine whether endovascular treatment (EVT) of a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) has better patient outcomes than neurosurgical treatment (NST). A review of six cohort studies (listed in Table 1) was carried out and the main findings were summarised in the conclusion. In addition the list of author's recommendations is included at the end of the paper.

Background And Purpose: It is often thought that elderly patients in particular would benefit from endovascular aneurysm treatment. The aim of this analysis was therefore to compare the efficacy and safety of endovascular coiling (EVT) with neurosurgical clipping (NST) in the subgroup of elderly SAH patients in the International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT).
Methods: In the ISAT cohort 278 SAH patients, 65 years or older, were enrolled.
