- used to grade residual aneurysm filling after endovascular coiling:
Full Scale
Grade | Description | Angiographic Appearance | Clinical Significance / Notes |
Class I | Complete obliteration | No contrast filling of the aneurysm or neck | Ideal outcome; lowest recurrence risk |
Class II | Residual neck | Contrast opacifies neck only; dome excluded | Small recurrence risk; follow-up needed |
Class IIIa | Residual aneurysm (contrast in sac, neck protected) | Contrast fills sac but neck still covered by coils | Higher recurrence and retreatment risk |
Class IIIb | Residual aneurysm (contrast extends to neck) | Contrast fills sac and neck region — incomplete coverage | Highest risk of recanalization; often requires retreatment |
Simplified Scale
Grade | Definition | Risk Implication |
I | Complete occlusion | Excellent durability |
II | Residual neck | Low risk of recurrence |
III | Residual aneurysm (filling of sac) | High recurrence risk; may need retreatment |
