From: Evaluating the Tubridge™ flow diverter for large cavernous carotid artery aneurysms
Treatment modalities | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
Coils | 1. Do not need to take antiplatelet drugs after endovascular treatment. | 1. Wide-necked aneurysm is not applicable. 2. There is a risk of coil escape and a relatively high recurrence rate. 3. It needs to be operated in the lumen of the aneurysm, and there is a risk of aneurysm rupture. |
Stent-assisted coils | 1. The incidence of escape risk of coils is relatively low. | 1. Requires platelet inhibition, which can lead to long-term complications. 2. A relatively high recurrence rate. 3. It needs to be operated in the lumen of the aneurysm, and there is a risk of aneurysm rupture. |
Flow diverter device | 1. Higher embolization rate. 2. No operation is performed in the lumen of the aneurysm, reducing the risk of intraoperative aneurysm rupture. | 1. Branch occlusion or perforating branch occlusion is likely to occur. 2. Requires platelet inhibition, which can lead to long-term complications. |
