Indications and Advantages of Endovascular Treatment for Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms

Abstract

  Endovascular treatment has remarkably progressed and is important in stroke treatment. Particularly, there are many evidence-based reports on the efficacy of coil embolization for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, and it has become an indispensable treatment procedure. However, endovascular treatment is not suitable for all ruptured intracranial aneurysms, and we should decide the indication based on the treatment certainty, treatment risk, and characteristics of the treatment team.

  Here, we review the evidence of endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms and discuss on patients that should be treated with coil embolization.
