Data are presented as mean±standard deviation, range or absolute number of cases (relative frequency in %).
Relative frequency for patient gender and number of aneurysms treated by the same PEDV is related to the number of patients (n=104 for unruptured and n=17 for ruptured).
Relative frequency for the remaining data is related to the number of aneurysms (n=111 for unruptured and n=20 for ruptured).
*ACA, anterior cerebral artery (distal to the ACOM); ACOM, anterior communicating artery; ICA, internal carotid artery; MCA, middle cerebral artery; PCA, posterior cerebral artery; PICA, posterior inferior cerebellar artery. NYU ICA anatomical classification used.21
†Aneurysms were classified into small (<5 mm), medium, large (≥10 mm), and giant aneurysms (≥25 mm). Wide-neck aneurysms defined as neck >4 mm.22
