Balloon occlusion of parent vessel and direct coiling are the two endovascular techniques routinely used and commonly accepted as alternatives to surgery for treatment of the cerebral aneurysm in many patients. Based on our experience and what is reported in the literature, the various aspects concerning techniques, difficulties, risks, are described. In comparison to surgery, the endovascular approach is a relatively new technique, which is still in evolution. To date, there is no objective indication regarding the method to be used in a given case. The experience and attitude of the involved team still play an essential role.

Abstract

Balloon occlusion of parent vessel and direct coiling are the two endovascular techniques routinely used and commonly accepted as alternatives to surgery for treatment of the cerebral aneurysm in many patients. Based on our experience and what is reported in the literature, the various aspects concerning techniques, difficulties, risks, are described. In comparison to surgery, the endovascular approach is a relatively new technique, which is still in evolution. To date, there is no objective indication regarding the method to be used in a given case. The experience and attitude of the involved team still play an essential role.
