Unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm treatment

see also Anterior communicating artery aneurysm treatment.

The risk associated with treating unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms in patients age <65 years is low. Comparing risk with natural history studies, these patients can be expected to outperform natural history within 5 years. Recognizing the risk of smaller anterior communicating artery aneurysms, these findings suggest that treatment of even small lesions may be beneficial ¹⁾.

Anterior communicating artery aneurysm treatment requires more collaboration between microsurgical clipping and endovascular therapy. Evaluation of patient and anterior communicating artery aneurysm characteristics by considering the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques could provide an optimal treatment modality. A hybrid vascular neurosurgeon is expected to be a proper solution for the management of these conditions ²⁾.
