Objective To explore the risk factors for cerebral thrombosis due to interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms.Methods The clinical data of 240 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated by interventional embolization in Department of Neurosurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2015 and December 2019 were collected retrospectively. According to whether cerebral thrombosis occurred after embolization, the patients were divided into the cerebral thrombosis group and the non-cerebral thrombosis group. Univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for cerebral thrombosis due to interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms.Results Of the 240 patients, 55 (22.9%) had postoperative cerebral thrombosis confirmed by MRI, and 15 (6.2%) had neurological symptoms. There were significant differences in age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, operative duration, and procedure methods (simple coiling, balloon or stent-assisted coiling) between the cerebral thrombosis group and the non-cerebral thrombosis group after embolization of intracranial aneurysms (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only operative duration [odds ratio=1.036, 95% confidence interval (1.018, 1.054), P<0.001] was the independent risk factor for cerebral thrombosis after interventional embolization of aneurysms.Conclusions Operative duration is the independent and adjustable risk factor for cerebral thrombosis after embolization of intracranial aneurysms. Improving the surgical skills of neurointerventional surgeons and shortening the procedure time will be helpful to reduce the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis after interventional treatment of aneurysms and improve the prognosis of patients.
