The study compared coil embolization treatment for cerebral aneurysms in patients aged 60-79 and over 80, finding no significant difference in treatment outcomes except for procedure-related events. Procedure-related events were associated with severe aortic arch elongation and being over 80 years old. Coil embolization can be considered safe and effective for patients over 80, but further trials are needed for accurate conclusions.
