Management of cerebral aneurysms. How can current management be improved?
In the present article, we have reviewed potential avenues for improvement in the care of and present management of patients with cerebral aneurysms. Opportunities exist in areas of prevention, systems approach and organization of centers, physician and patient education, screening, and advances in surgical and endovascular therapy. All such advances, however, depend on rigorous academic evaluation. This issue represents a review of the current management of cerebral aneurysms, hopefully providing a basis for future improvements in the treatment of these lesions.
