Authors' objectives:
This study aims to assess the current evidence on coil embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Authors' recommendations:
1.1 Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of coil embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms appears adequate to support use of the procedure, provided that normal arrangements are in place for consent, audit and clinical governance.
1.2 The procedure should only be performed in specialist units with expertise in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Clear arrangements should be in place for the involvement of different clinical disciplines in treatment and follow-up.
1.3 Patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage should have rapid access to appropriate specialist care.
