Endovascular Procedures for Intracranial Arterial Disease (Atherosclerosis and Aneurysms) - 7/16
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Intracranial arterial disease includes thromboembolic events, vascular stenoses, and aneurysms. Endovascular techniques have been investigated for treatment of intracranial arterial disease, as an alternative to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and supportive care for acute stenosis and as an alternative to risk factor modification for chronic stenosis. For cerebral aneurysms, stentassisted coiling and the use of flow-diverting stents have been evaluated as an alternative to endovascular coiling in patients whose anatomy is not amenable to simple coiling.

متن کاملUnruptured intracranial aneurysms: natural history, clinical outcome, and risks of surgical and endovascular treatment.
BACKGROUND The management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is controversial. Investigators from the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms aimed to assess the natural history of unruptured intracranial aneurysms and to measure the risk associated with their repair. METHODS Centres in the USA, Canada, and Europe enrolled patients for prospective assessment of unruptured a...
