Rôle de la neuroradiologie interventionnelle dans la prévention des accidents vasculaires hémorragiques

Abstract

The risk of bleeding of unruptured aneurysms is increasing with aneurysm size. Small unruptured aneurysms can be treated conservatively with a regular MRI/MRA follow-up to detect a potential increase in size. If coiling is still the main endovascular technique for the treatment of unruptured aneurysms, several other techniques are now available including stent-assisted coiling, flow diversion, and flow disruption. After ARUBA study, there is no recommendation to treat unruptured brain AVMs. According to their hemorrhagic risk, dural arteriovenous fistulas with cortical venous drainage have to be treated, generally by endovascular approach through an arterial route.
