Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) are a leading cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and are associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the preferred imaging modality for the diagnosis of RIAs, as it is considered to be a fast, economical, and less invasive method. In this letter, regarding an original study presented by Elmokadem , we present our insights and discuss how CTA can better assist in clinical decision-making for patients with RIAs complicated by SAH.
颅内动脉瘤破裂(RIAs)是蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)的主要原因,且预后较差,死亡率高。计算机断层扫描血管造影(CTA)是诊断RIAs的首选影像学检查方法,因为它被认为是一种快速、经济且侵入性较小的方法。在这封信中,针对Elmokadem发表的一项原创研究,我们阐述了我们的见解,并讨论了CTA如何更好地辅助患有SAH合并RIAs的患者进行临床决策。
