Endovascular Management of Cerebral Aneurysm: The Recent Trends
2018
Cerebral
aneurysmrupture is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Surgical clipping and
endovascular coilingare the mainstay of management for securing the
aneurysm. After
International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial(ISAT) and Barrow Ruptured
AneurysmTrial (BRAT) results, worldwide trend has shifted gradually in favor of endovascular management. Nonetheless, endovascular management was faced with some limitations, especially while treating giant, wide neck bifurcation, blister, and small uncoilable
aneurysm. The recent introduction of new devices such as
flow diverterstents, microstents, bifurcation devices, double-lumen balloon catheters, and
microcoilshave proved to be effective in overcoming the limitations of traditional
aneurysmcoiling. The authors present a review of recent advances in the endovascular management of cerebral
aneurysm.
