INTRACRANIAL VASCULAR TREATMENT
Intracranial vessel ballooning (aneurysms) is seen in 3-5% of the adult population and is very rare in the pediatric population.
Childhood aneurysms constitute only 2-4% of all aneurysms.
85% of aneurysms occur in the anterior arteries of the brain.
The feared clinical outcome of brain aneurysms is bleeding into the brain, and only 40-57% of bleeding patients survive after 30 days.
If bleeding occurs due to an aneurysm in the posterior system of the brain, their predicted clinical picture is even worse and 30-day survival is reduced to 11%.
The treatment of brain aneurysms can be performed with closed angiographic techniques other than surgical methods.
In these methods, the brain vessels can be reached by means of special catheters from the groin artery without any incision in the skull and can be treated with special coils, stent, balloon, web, specially designed high technology products such as stent, balloon, web, and again, with various combinations of these.
