Endovascular treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysms: A single center experience with a focus on thromboembolic complications.

Conclusions While the rate of thromboembolic events in our series was 19%, the overall morbidity was only 2%. This highlights the fact that even complex MCA aneurysms can safely and effectively be treated by endovascular means with or without the use of balloon or stent assistance, as long as the interventionalist is astutely aware of the possibility of thrombus formation and acts accordingly with thrombolytic therapy when necessary.
