RESUMEN
Los aneurismas intracraneales son lesiones comunes. Los estudios de autopsia indican una prevalencia en la población adulta entre 1% y 5%. El 80% están localizados en la circulación anterior y la mayoría de aneurismas son pequeños. Son considerados lesiones adquiridas en forma esporádica, sin embargo han sido descritas formas familiares. La mayor complicación es la hemorragia subaracnoidea no traumática, se debe a la ruptura de un aneurisma. El riesgo anual de ruptura varía entre 0.05% a 4%. La ruptura de un aneurisma intracraneal es un evento devastador con una alta mortalidad y relativamente pobre pronóstico. En la actualidad el tratamiento endovascular es considerado el tratamiento de primera línea para los aneurismas intracraneales. Presentamos un caso en el cual se empleó por primera vez en Ecuador y Latinoamérica un stent SILK-plus® [Balt Extrusion, Francia], variante con mayor fuerza radial (expansión y adaptación a la arteria) que su antecesor.
ABSTRACT
Intracranial aneurysms are common lesions. Autopsy studies indicate a prevalence in the adult population between 1% and 5%. 80% they are located in the anterior circulation and most aneurysms are little ones. They are considered injuries acquired sporadically, without However, family forms have been described. The biggest complication is nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, it It is due to the rupture of an aneurysm. The annual risk of rupture varies between 0.05% to 4%. The rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a devastating event with high mortality and a relatively poor prognosis. In the currently endovascular treatment is considered the treatment of first line for intracranial aneurysms. We present a case in which a SILK-plus® stent [Balt Extrusion, France] was used for the first time in Ecuador and Latin America, a variant with greater radial force (expansion and adaptation to the artery) than its predecessor
