Relationship Between Perforator Infarction and Patient Outcomes After Surgical Treatment of Ruptured Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysms

Yamamoto et  al1 retrospectively investigated postsurgical perforator infarction in patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms, especially focusing on the correlation of perforator infarction with clinical course during hospitalization and functional outcome 3 months after onset. The ir methodology consisted chiefly of 1) reviewing computed tomography scans obtained 24–48 hours after surgical clipping to examine the frequency of cortical and perforator infarction and 2) reviewing patient data to examine clinical outcomes at 3 months.
