Treatment of cerebral aneurysms

The treatment methods of cerebral aneurysms include craniotomy clipping, endovascular embolization, close observation and follow-up, etc. 1. Craniotomy clipping is a traditional treatment method. The advantage is that it can accurately clip the aneurysm neck and prevent the aneurysm from rupturing and bleeding again. The effect is exact. However, the surgical trauma is relatively large, and there are certain requirements for the patient's physical condition, and the recovery time after surgery is longer. 2. Endovascular embolization is a more and more widely used method. It has less trauma and faster postoperative recovery, especially suitable for some patients who are difficult to operate or whose physical condition is poor enough to tolerate craniotomy. However, its cost is relatively high and incomplete embolization may exist. 3. Close observation and follow-up For some very small, regular and unruptured aneurysms, close observation can also be performed first, and regular imaging examinations can be performed to assess the changes of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm is stable, observation can be continued; but if it increases or there is a risk of rupture, timely treatment is required. When choosing treatment methods, doctors will comprehensively consider various factors, weigh the pros and cons, and formulate individualized treatment plans for patients. Patients and their families should fully communicate with doctors to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and actively cooperate with treatment to improve the treatment effect and quality of life. At the same time, no matter which treatment method is selected, regular review is needed after surgery in order to detect possible problems and deal with them in time.
