The authors evaluated a national, multihospital database containing information on over 5200 patients to examine recent trends in ruptured aneurysm therapies and to compare peri-procedural outcomes between clipping and coiling treatments. Clipping therapy frequency decreased from 27% in 2006 to 21% in 2011. Unfavorable outcomes were more common after clipping compared with coiling, including discharge to long-term care, ischemic complications, neurologic complications, and other surgical complications.
