What is the current status of endovascular coil obliteration when compared with microsurgical approaches?
Endovascular coil obliteration has been established to have better short-term efficacy compared with microsurgical approaches, however, close long-term surveillance is still warranted due to durability concerns. There have been multiple efforts to identify subgroups of patients who might be best treated with endovascular or microsurgical techniques in order to find a balance between safety and durability.
