Using Korea NHIS data, mortality rates for RIAs showed no significant variation by hospital size due to coiling's prevalence. However, differences in clipping outcomes by hospital size and volume in TRGH highlight the need for national efforts to improve clipping skills and standardization. Additionally, the higher mortality rate with SAC emphasizes the importance of precise indications for its application.
