Synopsis Despite improvements in endovascular and microsurgical techniques, treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms remains challenging. Thus, a comparison of clinical and surgical outcomes of flow diversion versus parent artery occlusion (PAO) and bypass in patients with complex anterior circulation aneurysms was studied. This week’s “MED FACT” discusses a clinical trial from Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, “Flow diversion versus parent artery occlusion with bypass in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms: Immediate and short-term outcomes of the randomized trial”.
Authors: Roman Kiselev et. al. Key Takeaways: Better clinical outcomes of flow diversion were seen in comparison with bypass Objective: The objective of this study was to compare clinical and surgical outcomes of flow diversion versus parent artery occlusion and bypass in patients with complex anterior…
