| Popis: | Contemporary cerebral aneurysm treatment has advanced due to the expansion of microsurgical and endovascular techniques having different advantages and restraints. However, some aneurysms cannot be effectively treated by a single method alone due to their specific anatomy, location, complexity, and/or multiplicity. Subsequently, multiple aneurysms sometimes necessitate a hybrid strategy integrating both methods. The study aims were to discuss indications, possibilities, and challenges of a hybrid strategy in the decision making and treatment of multiple intracranial aneurysms. A single-institution illustrative case series of multiple intracranial aneurysm patients treated by a hybrid approach was analyzed and management outcome discussed and correlated with literature data. Following the treatment, both patients from our case series recovered well, having complete and stable aneurysmal occlusion with no relapse and no postoperative procedure-related complications or long-lasting neurological symptoms. In conclusion, a hybrid approach is advised as a treatment option for multiple cerebral aneurysms when a single modality is insufficient to bring satisfactory results. It may be a suitable and safe addition to an assortment of treatments pledging clinical improvement and enabling positive management outcome in patients with ruptured and non-ruptured multiple cerebral aneurysms. |
