Intracranial aneurysm result from complex interactions between cerebrovascular anatomy, vascular injury, and adaptive remodeling of the arterial wall and represent a cerebrovascular disorder with the potential for substantial morbidity and mortality. Most intracranial aneurysms occur in the larger arteries near the skull base, in or around the circle of Willis, but variants may appear virtually anywhere in the cerebral vasculature. The aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding, and is the most common cause of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, the third most common form of stroke. Intracranial aneurysms affect about 1 in 10,000 people per year in the United States (approximately 27,000). Intracranial Aneurysms will address the natural history, biology, and basic management principles and treatment of aneurysms. The chapters also explore the unique features of each type or location of aneurysm while considering the medical, surgical, and endovascular options. Contributions are by members of the Endovascular Neurosurgery Research Group, a group of recognized expert neurosurgeons who specialize in cerebrovascular and endovascular management of aneurysms.

As diagnostic and functional neuroimaging advances, the choice of the best patient-tailored treatment for cerebral aneurysm becomes far more difficult. New technologies that can help identify the most suitable therapy include machine learning algorithms to process big data, robotic applications for interventional procedures, and dynamic vascular flow models. Different biological and epidemiological parameters have been delineated as prognostic factors that add a fundamental piece of information to the decision of whether to proceed with surgery, endovascular treatment, or a combination of both. With technical improvement and prolonged patient life expectancy, recurrent cerebral aneurysm is becoming more common. To deal with the complex issue of aneurysm re-intervention, a clear definition of the clinical and radiological outcomes is essential. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the currently emerging innovations in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, from their pre-operative holistic assessment to long-term follow-up, focusing on the opportunities provided by the newest technologies.
