Optimizing clinical decision-making for ruptured intracranial aneurysms: Current applications and future directions of computed tomography angiography

Abstract

Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) are a leading cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and are associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the preferred imaging modality for the diagnosis of RIAs, as it is considered to be a fast, economical, and less invasive method. In this letter, regarding an original study presented by Elmokadem et al , we present our insights and discuss how CTA can better assist in clinical decision-making for patients with RIAs complicated by SAH.
