Abstract

The intracranial aneurisms occur in about 6% of world population. There are two possible techniques to treat intracranial aneurysms: the endovascular (embolization) and the conventional (microsurgery) surgery. The present study aims at comparing the aforementioned surgical techniques in the State of Paraná, Brazil, between 2008 and 2016. Our research is descriptive, documental, with a quantitative approach and simple analysis of the DATASUS secondary data. In Paraná, the endovascular technique is carried out in 84% of patients that are diagnosed as having intracranial aneurysm, and accounts for a total cost of 91%. The average cost of a patient undergoing endovascular technique is 93% higher if compared to the microsurgery technique. Results show that when using the endovascular technique the embolized patient hospital stay was 66,9% lower, and mortality rate decrease was 64,5%. Despite its cost, the endovascular treatment reduces hospital stay and mortality rate by over half due to its high safety.
