  • *Wide neck defined as neck ≥4 mm and/or dome-to-neck ratio <2.

  • †Factors included in the multivariate analysis: aneurysm size (<10 mm; ≥10 mm) and wide neck.

  • Acom/ACA, anterior communicating/anterior cerebral artery; BAC, balloon-assisted coiling; IA, intracranial aneurysm; ICA, internal carotid artery; MCA, middle cerebral artery; VB, vertebrobasilar.
