Complications in Endovascular Surgery for Aneurysm

• Baik MW

Abstract

The most important assets of a responsible and successful neuro-endovascular surgeon are knowledge of the possible technical difficulties, complications that may be encountered during the procedures. The intrinsic risks of complications involved with GDC embolization for cerebral aneurysms are multifactorial; the experience and skill of the physician, the different kind of devices used and geometry of aneurysm. Any complication can be totally unpredictable and even unknown for a time. Duration of the procedures another critical factor, so some of the complications (eg., vascular damage, thrombosis, intimal damage) is simply from the length of the procedure.
