Giant Aneurysm Management.

The treatment of giant aneurysms has always been a challenge in the field of neurovascular disease. Giant aneurysms are larger in size and are associated with thrombosis development and the calcification of the aneurysmal wall and neck, which often interfere with direct clipping. Most giant aneurysms have a wide neck with an incomplete thrombus, making complete embolization almost impossible. Giant aneurysms of different sites have entirely different hemodynamic characteristics. Moreover, aneurysms at the same site may exhibit very different hemodynamics among different individuals. Therefore, careful assessment of each case is required before and during treatment to develop and carry out an individualized treatment plan.
