Objective: The effects of interventional embolization and craniotomy clipping on the treatment of intracranial aneurysms were investigated in this study, as well as their influence on the hemodynamics of postoperative patients. Methods: 102 patients with intracranial aneurysms were selected as the research objects, and they were rolled into an experimental (group A) and a control group (group B) according to the random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. The group A was treated with intravascular interventional embolization, and the group B received craniotomy clipping. Besides, a biodegradable magnesium titanium alloy biological stent was independently developed in this study, which was applied to endovascular interventional embolization in the group A. The hemodynamic model was established by using three-dimensional (3D) computer hemodynamic numerical simulation technology. Besides, the effects of all the patients before and after treatment were evaluated, in terms of blood pressure (BP), average wall shear stress (WSS) (AWSS), AWSS gradient (AWSSG), oscillatory shear index (OSI), aneurysm formation index (AFI), gradient oscillation number (GON), and intraoperative complication rate. Results: After 3 days of treatment, the BP, AWSS, and AWSSG of patients from the two groups were higher than those before treatment. The index values of the group A were greater markedly than the values of the group B (P < 0.05); the BP of the group A and the group B at the 0th day, 1st day, 3rd day, 5th day, and 7th day after treatment was 21±5.1 Versus 20.1±4.7, 22±4.8 Versus 21.1± 5.17, 26±6.2 Versus 22.31±5.21, 27±5.77 Versus 24.02±5.11, and 30±6.09 Versus 24.99±5.03, respectively; AWSSG values were 120±10.11 Versus 120.1±10.98, 130.1±10.36 Versus 123.3±11.06, 162.5±9.92 Versus 131.31±10.97, 171±8.13 Versus 155.02±8.36, and 200.1±7.22 Versus 180.01±8.98 in turn. GON and OSI were both decreased, and the values of various indexes in the group A were sharply lower than those of the group B (P < 0.05); the values of GON at the 0th day, 1st day, 3rd day, 5th day, and 7th day after treatment in the group A and the group B were 0.077±0.01 Versus 0.08±0.011, 0.07±0.012 Versus 0.073 ± 0.01, 0.051 ± 0.02 Versus 0.071 ± 0.011, 0.045 ± 0.01 Versus 0.069 ± 0.011, and 0.042 ± 0.012 Versus 0.063±0.013, respectively; OSI values were 4.8±0.51 Versus 4.9±0.52, 3.6±0.52 Versus 3.62±0.51, 2.82±0.51 Versus 3.1 ± 0.57, 1.9 ± 0.512 Versus 2.91 ± 0.51, and 0.5 ± 0.51 Versus 1.8 ± 0.501 in turn. By comparing the intraoperative complications and postoperative mortality risk score (MRS) of patients in the two groups, it was found that the incidence of intraoperative complications and postoperative MRS scores in the group A were lower steeply than those of the group B, suggesting that endovascular interventional embolization had a better effect on the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Conclusion: Endovascular interventional embolization based on biodegradable magnesium alloy coated scaffold could better improve the distribution of shear stress on the vascular wall, stabilize vascular blood flow, and achieve better therapeutic effect for patients.
