Abstract：Objective To compare the curative effect of endovascular treatment with occlusion of the parent artery on the un-ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysm with that of endovascular treatment without occlusion of patent artery.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with un-ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysms,of whom,22 (control group) treated by endovascular occlusion of the aneurysms and parent arteries and 14 (observed group) by the occlusion of the aneurysms and preservation of the parent arteries between January,2009 to January,2014 were analyzed retrospectively.All the patients were followed up 6,12 and 24 months after the treatment.The rate of the postoperative complications occurrence and curative effects were compared between both the groups.Results The rate of complete occlusion of the aneurysms (95.5％,21/22) was significantly higher in the control group than that (64.3％,9/ 14) in the observed group (P＜0.05).There were insignificant differences in the rates of ischemia complication occurrence and aneurysmal recurrence and the prognoses 2 years after the treatment between both the groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The curative effects of endovascular embolization of the aneurysms and parent arteries or only embolization of the aneurysms and preservation of the parent arteries on the un-ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysms are good.
