Complex Aneurysms From Endovascular and Surgical Points of View

D. Cannizzaro, R. Delfini, A. Caporlingua and A. Santoro

Abstract

Large aneurysms (more than 25 mm in diameter) or aneurysms in particular positions inside the skull base are defined complex. They are associated with a high risk of subarachnoid or intracranial hemorrhage and neurological deficits. We discuss this particular class of aneurysms which, given their peculiar characteristics, require a complex therapeutic approach, including synergistic treatment with surgical and endovascular modalities.
