Variable % Incidence ± SD No. of Events No. of Aneurysms No. of Articles Odds Ratio Confidence Interval Thromboembolic incidence, all articles, balloon 8.1 ± 5.7 22 273 11 NA NA Thromboembolic incidence, all articles, no balloon 8.0 ± 5.7 69 867 17 Thromboembolic incidence, “mixed articles,” balloon 7.9 ± 6.1 7 89 5 0.7 0.3-1.7 Thromboembolic incidence, “mixed articles,” no balloon 10.5 ± 8.4 36 344 5 Perforation incidence, balloon SAH cases 1.7 ± 9.4 1 59 7 NA NA Perforation incidence, nonballoon SAH cases 3.4 ± 6.3 17 507 13 Perforation incidence, balloon non-SAH cases 1.8 ± 2.1 2 111 8 NA NA Perforation incidence, non-balloon non-SAH cases 1.4 ± -2.3 7 486 12
Note:—“Mixed articles” indicates studies reporting results for both balloon-assisted and unassisted coiling cases and were the ones subject to meta-analysis. The incidence of thromboembolism for the larger cohort of “all articles,” which includes a wider range of studies reporting exclusive experience with either unassisted or balloon-assisted cases, does not lend itself to strict meta-analysis, however, is included in the chart for comparison with the analyzed results for the “mixed article” groups. SAH indicates subarachnoid hemorrhage; NA, no analysis.
