Abstract

The low prevalence but serious disability caused by hemorrhage of an incompletely occluded aneurysm understandably creates dispute regarding the proper management of these aneurysms. As mentioned in the previous sections, both aggressive and conservative management are feasible. The risks of retreatment and the risk of repeat hemorrhage both have to be carefully evaluated when deciding between aggressive treatment strategies and observation.
