Study Provides New Information About Unruptured Brain AneurysmsMonday, Jul 14, 2003
Results of the largest-ever international study of unruptured brain aneurysms provide a more comprehensive look at these vascular
defects and offer guidance to patients and physicians facing the difficult decision about whether or not to treat an aneurysm
surgically. The findings also suggest that the risk of rupture for most unrepaired small aneurysms (less than 7 millimeters
in size) is small.
Fact Sheet Study Provides Guidance for Treating Patients with Brain AneurysmsWednesday, Dec 9, 1998
A new study will help physicians decide how to treat individuals with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). The study,
reported in the December 10, 1998, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, found that the size and location of the aneurysm
in the brain, as well as the patient's medical history, are the best predictors of future rupture.
