Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Flow Diverter Stenting
Placement of a mesh stent across the aneurysm neck to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm sac, promoting endothelialization and long-term occlusion.
Targeted drug therapy with dose adjustment
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Additional treatment options
Microvascular Decompression
Open surgical approach for aneurysms with complex anatomy, involving vessel reconstruction or parent artery occlusion with bypass when direct clipping is not feasible.
surgicalImaging Surveillance
Regular follow-up with digital subtraction angiography to assess aneurysm occlusion status post-treatment and detect any recurrence requiring retreatment.
monitoringStress Reduction
Behavioral interventions including relaxation techniques, stress management programs, and avoidance of Valsalva-inducing activities that elevate intracranial pressure.
lifestyleStatin Therapy
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors may improve endothelial function and aneurysm wall stability through anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering mechanisms.
