ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
New findings and research regarding the microsurgical treatment of intracerebral aneurysms (IAs) continue to advance even in the era of endovascular therapies. Research in the past 2 decades has continued to revolve around the question of whether open surgery or endovascular treatment is preferable. The answer remains both complex and in flux.OBJECTIVE:
This review focuses on microsurgery, reflects on the research decisions of previous landmark studies, and proposes future study designs that may further our understanding of IAs and how best to treat them.RESULTS:
The future of IA research may include a combination of pragmatic trials, artificial intelligence integrated tools, and mining of large data sets, in addition to the publication of high-quality single-center studies.CONCLUSIONS:
The future will likely emphasize testing innovative techniques, looking at granular patient data, and considering every patient encounter as a potential source of knowledge, creating a system in which data are updated daily because each patient interaction contributes to answering important research questions.Palabras clave
