Abstract

The goal of treatment of cerebral aneurysms is complete, permanent aneurysmal occlusion with preservation of parent artery and its branches (constructive techniques). Developments in endovascular and neurosurgical techniques mean most aneurysms are treatable by constructive techniques. Constructive techniques remain inappropriate for a small number of aneurysms (i.e., fusiform, giant, or blister aneurysms). Parent artery occlusion or trapping aneurysmal segment (deconstructive) techniques remain the safest option in some settings.
