Table 2. Vascular geometry in patients with and without iVADA growth.
Geometric characteristic | Growth (n=54) | No growth (n=70) | p |
---|---|---|---|
VTI | 1.14±0.11 | 1.06±0.12 | 0.035 |
Size of aneurysm (mm) | 6.88±3.00 | 6.24±2.79 | 0.248 |
BA–ipsiVA angle (degrees) | 145.56±22.56 | 150.18±19.54 | 0.243 |
VA–VA angle (degrees) | 57.03±28.02 | 49.62±26.08 | 0.144 |
Aneurysm ratio | 2.83±1.32 | 2.42±0.83 | 0.054 |
BA diameter (mm) | 3.10±0.91 | 3.16±0.65 | 0.677 |
VA diameter ratio | 1.48±0.39 | 1.54±0.58 | 0.533 |
Ipsilateral dominant | 24 (44.4) | 33 (47.1) | 0.765 |
Other cerebral aneurysm | 11 (20.0) | 13 (18.3) | 0.397 |
Data are n (%) or mean±standard-deviation values. The VA diameter ratio was calculated by dividing the diameter at the initiation of the affected V4 segment by the diameter at the termination of the affected V4 segment. Other cerebral aneurysm refers to an aneurysm located in any intracranial and/or extracranial artery other than the ipsilateral or contralateral distal VA.
BA, basilar artery; ipsiVA, ipsilateral VA; iVADA, intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm; VA, vertebral artery; VTI, vertebral artery tortuosity index.
