Unlabelled:
The paper presents indications for and the technique of the intravascular procedures as well as the results of treating patients with intracranial aneurysms.
Material And Method:
Between 1997 and the May 2000, 25 patients (14 women and 11 men) with cerebral aneurysms underwent intravascular embolisation. The aneurysms were embolised with MDS-N BALT with coils. In 5 patients with aneurysm (about 2 cm), the procedure was performed in two or three steps.
Results:
Aneurysms were embolised successfully in 19 patients. Three patients revealed intra- and postoperative complication manifestations.
Conclusions:
Intravascular embolisation of intracranial aneurysms is an affective treatment modality. It carries, though, a certain risk of complication development. Using this method in neurosurgically non-operable cases is a method of choice.
