Introduction There is increasing acknowledgement that surgical care is important in global
health initiatives. In particular, neurosurgical care is as limited as 1 per 10 million people in …

Neurosurgical clipping and endovascular coiling are both standard therapies to prevent
rebleeding after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, controversy still …

BACKGROUND Prospective studies of unruptured aneurysms have shown very low rates of
rupture for small aneurysms (< 10 mm) and suggested that the risk of treatment outweighs …

Background The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk conditions is rapidly
increasing in low-and middle-income countries, where health systems are generally ill …

Background Research output on global neurosurgery (GNS) has exponentially increased in
recent years. As research efforts increase, we must first analyze how the current body of …

Objective Healthcare expenditures and cost reduction have been under critical surveillance
in all countries and are critical for policymakers. This review aims at qualitatively and …

Background Two randomized trials have evaluated clipping and coiling in patients with
ruptured aneurysms. Aggregated evidence for management of ruptured and unruptured …

Ideal management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) and ruptured intracranial
aneurysms (RIAs) is a controversial issue. Over the last few decades, a significant paradigm …

Rationale: Interventional neurovascular procedures are effective in lowering the burden of
mortality and complications resulting from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) …

Purpose The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) revealed that in ruptured
intracranial aneurysms (RA), endovascular coiling (EC) yields better clinical outcomes than …
