- Abstract
The anterior communicating artery (ACoA) is the most common site of cerebral aneurysms, accounting for as much as 36% of aneurysms. Microsurgical clipping and coil embolization are treatment modalities for ruptured and nonruptured cerebral aneurysms. Compared with surgical clipping, coil embolization has a relatively lower mortality and incidence of cognitive impairment in patients. However, successful management of the patient with twice ruptured ACoA aneurysm is facing critical challenges.This article has described a case of twice ruptured aneurysm with the first rupture occurring when the patient was admitted and the second rupture occurring during coil embolization. Perioperative nursing assessment, monitoring, intervention, patient teaching, and the nurse's role are discussed from a nursing perspective., (Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Nursing, Inc.
