Endovascular Management of Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysms
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America
The management of intracranial aneurysms has evolved significantly over the past 2 decades. Anterior communicating artery aneurysms (AComAAs) represent a common and often challenging problem for physicians and patients. Experience and technological advances have broadened the indications for endovascular treatment of all aneurysms. Balloon-mounted catheters and intracranial stents are 2 technological advancements that have made the treatment of previously uncoilable aneurysms feasible. As with all intracranial aneurysms, complete angiographic occlusion remains the goal of care. Balancing the risks of thromboembolic complications with decreasing the risk of hemorrhage, especially in acutely ruptured aneurysms, represents an objective for vascular neurosurgeons.
