The Longest Angiographic and Clinical Follow-Up of Microsurgically Treated Giant Intracranial Aneurysms: Experience with 70 Cases

摘要

BACKGROUND: Giant intracranial aneurysms (GIAs), if left untreated, have an extremely poor natural history. Despite many reports about the surgical treatment of GIAs, their long-term clinical and angiographic results are unclear. To our knowledge, this study reports the longest clinical and angiographic follow-up of microsurgically treated GIAs in the English literature.
