Abstract
This short review portrays the treatment of cerebral aneurysms from the very early surgical beginning to current endovascular multimodal therapy. The evolution to today’s mainly nonoperative treatment of aneurysms illustrates the enormous progress of interventional neuroradiology, which has attained its outstanding success through the concurrence of deeper understanding and knowledge of diseases, technical development, and endovascular manual skills.
Zusammenfassung
Die Behandlung zerebraler Aneurysmen wird in einer kurzen Übersicht von den chirurgischen Anfängen bis zur endovaskulären multimodalen Therapie dargestellt. Die Entwicklung zur inzwischen überwiegend nichtoperativen Therapie von Aneurysmen steht stellvertretend für die enormen Fortschritte der interventionellen Neuroradiologie, die ihre Erfolge aus dem Zusammenwirken von Krankheitsverständnis, technischer Entwicklung und endovaskulären manuellen Fähigkeiten bezieht.
