Background • Risk reopening1,2 • Information on ‘late’ (>6 mo) reopening sparse Purpose: • To determine frequency of late reopening and possible risk factors 1; Molyneux et al Lancet 2002, 2; Raymond et al, Stroke 2003
Aneurysm occlusion3 complete neck incomplete remnant 3; Raymond et al, J neurosurg 1997
Methods LOTUS STUDY • Design: multicenter prospective follow-up study • 7 Dutch participating centers with MEC approval • AMC, Amsterdam • UMC, Utrecht • St Elisabeth ZH, Tilburg • VUMC, Amsterdam • LUMC, Leiden • Slotervaart ZH, Amsterdam • MUMC, Maastricht
Methods PATIENTS • Inclusion criteria: • age 18-70 • coiling >4.5 years ago • GOS 4/5 • adequate aneurysm occlusion after 6 months • no contra-indications for MRA at 3Tesla • 400 patients
Methods IMAGING • 3 Tesla MRI, Philips Medical Systems • T2 weighted imaging • MOTSA 3D TOF • Standard MIP and VR 3D reconstructions EVALUATION • 2 observers • Suspected incomplete occlusion: compare to initial and 6 month angiography
Methods ANALYSES • Proportion reopening, retreatment • Risk factors for late reopening • gender • rupture status • size ≥ 10 mm • posterior circulation • basilar tip
Results patients 400 participants younger than 571 non-participants (mean 55 versus 57 yrs, p<0.001) 16% Participation 74% mean follow-up 6.0 years (median 5.0, range 4.5-12.9 yrs)
Results late reopening • Agreement 421/440 aneurysms; 95.7% • Reopening: • 11/400 patients (2.8%, 95%CI 1.4-4.9%) • with 440 aneurysms (2.5%, 95%CI 1.0-4.0%) • Retreatment: • 3/440 aneurysms (0.7%, 95%CI 0.2-1.5%)
Results risk factors • Aneurysm size ≥ 10 mm • (OR 5.2, 95% CI 1.3-16.3, p=0.01) • Location basilar artery tip • (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.1- 14.6, p=0.04).
3 CASES(Late reopening after adequate coiling at 6 month FU angiography)
1. 49 year-old woman Ruptured basilar tip aneurysm 12 mm Directly after coiling 7 m FU 25-8-04
1. 49 year-old woman Ruptured basilar tip aneurysm 12 mm 4.7 yrs FU VR Not retreated Unfavorable morphology 4.7 yrs FU MRA reopening 3x8 mm
2. 27 year-old woman Unruptured additional left carotid tip aneurysm 6 mm Before embolisation 5 months FU
2. 27 year-old woman Unruptured additional left carotid tip aneurysm 6 mm 4.5 yrs FU Reopening 3x3 mm 4.5 yrs FU VR After retreatment 4.5 yrs FU DSA
3. ♀, 42 year-old woman Ruptured left PcomA aneurysm 5 mm Before coiling Directly after coiling 6 month FU
3. ♀, 42 year-old woman Ruptured left PcomA aneurysm 5 mm 4.9 yrs FU MRA reopening 4x3mm No retreatment Patient refusal
Conclusion • Yield of long-term (mean 6 years) follow-up MRA of coiled aneurysms with adequate occlusion at 6 month follow-up angiography is low • Proportion reopening: 2.5% (11/ 440) • Retreatment: 0.7% (3/ 440)

Results: late reopening * Retreatment not judged indicated by multidisciplinary team; † Patient not retreated because of co-morbidity ‡ Patient not retreated because of unfavorable morphology of the aneurysm remnant; § Patient refused retreatment
