Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Aneurysm: Report of five cases and review of the literature

Abstract

In spite of latest modern medical development, subarachnoid hemorrhage due to aneurysm rupture remains devastating neurological problem with highest mortality rate. Unfortunately, classic surgical treatment of aneurysm carries out its own damage due to additional surgical access trauma especially in posterior circulation.For several years open surgery with clipping aneurysm`s neck was gold standard for the treatment of aneurysm. Over the two decades endovascular approach has taken over as an alternative treatment option. In this article we represent five cases with ruptured cerebral aneurysm and treated with endovascular coiling.
