Other
Endovascular Treatment
- Parental preference: When discussing treatment strategies for children, a parental bias toward nonoperative treatment has been reported (100).
- Saccular aneurysms: Saccular aneurysms in children have been treated endovascularly with traditional and stent-assisted coiling, flow diverters, and parent vessel occlusion (62).
- Nontraumatic dissecting aneurysms: Endovascular treatment of nontraumatic dissecting aneurysms includes parent vessel occlusion and flow diverters (49,99).
- Giant aneurysms: Endovascular coiling, parent vessel occlusion, and flow diverters can be used in the treatment of giant aneurysms, although coiling may not appropriately address the issue of mass effect that is commonly encountered with these lesions (99).
- Infectious aneurysms: Coiling and glue embolization have been used in the endovascular treatment of infectious aneurysms (49,99).
- Traumatic aneurysms: Endovascular treatment of traumatic aneurysms may include coiling, glue embolization, or parent vessel occlusion (49,124).
