Advantages and disadvantages of interventional therapy for cerebral aneurysms

Interventional treatment of cerebral aneurysms is a minimally invasive neurointerventional procedure. Materials such as microcatheters and microcoils are delivered into the aneurysm through an endovascular route to achieve the purpose of occluding the aneurysm and preventing rupture and bleeding. The advantages and disadvantages of interventional treatment of cerebral aneurysms are as follows: 1. Minimally invasive: Compared with craniotomy, interventional therapy does not require a large incision in the head. The operation can be completed only by inserting a catheter through the femoral artery or radial artery. The trauma is small and the postoperative recovery is fast. 2. Low risk: The operation time is short, and the impact on the patient's general condition is small, reducing the surgical risk and the incidence of complications. 3. Good effect: For cerebral aneurysms suitable for interventional therapy, it can achieve better therapeutic effect and reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture and bleeding.4.Repeatability: If the first interventional therapy is not ideal or complications occur, interventional therapy can be performed again or combined with other therapeutic methods.Disadvantages: 1. High cost: Interventional therapy requires the use of special equipment and equipment, and the surgical cost is relatively high. 2. High technical requirements: The operation needs to be performed under X-ray fluoroscopy, which requires high technical level and experience of the doctor. 3. Postoperative complications: Complications such as vasospasm, thrombosis, aneurysm rupture and other complications may still occur. 4. Long-term effect: Long-term follow-up is required after interventional treatment to observe whether the aneurysm recurs or other complications occur. It should be noted that the advantages and disadvantages of interventional treatment for cerebral aneurysms vary from person to person. Doctors will comprehensively evaluate the specific conditions of patients and choose the most suitable treatment plan. For patients with cerebral aneurysms, they should seek medical advice as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. In addition, the following groups need to be especially cautious when considering interventional treatment: 1. 2. Patients with severe cardiac, hepatic and renal insufficiency. 3. Patients with bleeding tendency or undergoing anticoagulant therapy. 4. Patients with severe systemic diseases who cannot tolerate surgery. Before interventional treatment of cerebral aneurysms, patients and family members should fully understand the risks and benefits of treatment and communicate with doctors in detail so as to make informed decisions. At the same time, postoperative follow-up and regular review are also very important to help identify and deal with possible problems in a timely manner.
