The incidence of stroke is high worldwide1 and is the leading cause of death in China presently.2,3 Subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysm is a subtype of severe stroke that occurs suddenly in seemingly healthy individuals with generally poor prognosis.4 Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling are effective treatment modalities for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
