Anesthesia for embolization of cerebral aneurysms.

Purpose Of Review: In the last decade, there has been a rapid development in new endovascular treatment options for cerebral aneurysms. These techniques have their own inherent risk and can be challenging for the attending anesthetist.

Recent Findings: The recent developments of stent-assisted aneurysm coiling, flow-diverting stents and gel embolization, have implications for the attending anesthesiologist and the patient.
