Comparative Study
[Comparative study for ruptured aneurysms treated by surgery and endovascular method].
The management of intracranial aneurysms has truly evolved after the introduction of the endovascular treatment. In this paper we compare patients that were operated or embolized for intracranial aneurysms. ⋯ In the endovascular group, 95% of cases the clinical outcome was very good with only 42.8% of total exclusion of the aneurysm. By the endovascular method for treatment of aneurysms, we can obtain a good clinical outcome but a poor radiological outcome and sometimes need a complementary surgical procedure to treat residual aneurysm.
