Abstract
Remarkable advances have been made in the endovascular treatment of intracranial cerebral aneurysms. These advances include various adjunctive techniques, increased indications for endovascular treatment, and improved treatment results. Furthermore, the number of cerebral aneurysm treatments using flow diverters (FDs) is expected to increase. However, the reported long-term rate of branch artery occlusion after FD treatment has been reported is 15.8%. Moreover, the complete aneurysm obliteration rate is low if normal branches arise from an aneurysm neck or dome. Flow diverter placement for ophthalmic artery, posterior communicating artery, and anterior choroidal artery aneurysms is often difficult because these normal branches often arise from the aneurysm neck or dome. Therefore, in many cases, coil embolization, which can occlude the aneurysm while preserving branch vessels, should be selected. Although not yet established, various adjunctive techniques and other endovascular treatments that can be performed safely have been reported. Treatment must be planned after understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment method.
