The management of mycotic aneurysm has always been subject to controversy. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the intracranial infected aneurysm from pathogenesis till management while focusing mainly on the endovascular interventions. This novel solution seems to provide additional benefits and long-term favorable outcomes.

متن کاملActive bleeding from ruptured cerebral aneurysms during diagnostic angiography: emergency treatment.
Despite new developments in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, recurrent hemorrhage of an aneurysm is the most feared complication of subarachnoid bleeding. The prognosis of patients with early reruptured aneurysms is discouraging. A rerupture of an aneurysm with active bleeding is extremely rare, and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. We report the management of active bleeding of rerup...
