Aneurysms of Vertebro-basilar Junction: a single center experience and meta-analysis of endovascular treatments

2014

Vascular lesions of the vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) are a challenging task in neurosurgical practice, and their gold-standard therapy is still under debate. The authors describe the operative strategies currently in use for the management of those complex vascular lesions and discuss their rationale throughout a literature metaanalysis and a single center blinded retrospective study. The single center study included a review of initial presentation, angiographic features and clinical outcome (with modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores) over a long-term follow-up. In our series, small aneurysms were effectively treated with endosaccular coils embolization; whereas a strategy including flow-d…
