REVIEW
Os aneurismas intracranianos são comuns e frequentemente vistos por neurologistas. Trata-se de uma dilatação anômala de uma artéria cerebral, que resulta na formação de um saco ou balão localizado na parede do vaso sanguíneo. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar e analisar a frequência de arteriografias em pacientes com aneurismas intracranianos que não sofreram trombose completa, selecionando artigos originais pré-selecionados adequadamente. Esta revisão sistemática integrativa, fundamental, observacional e descritiva resulta na ideia de que a imagem de aneurismas intracranianos na era endovascular permite a vigilância e o acompanhamento pós-tratamento, prejulgando possíveis riscos indesejáveis futuros. Em conclusão, há necessidade de follow-up médico por meio de arteriografias nesses pacientes específicos com tratamento personalizado. Além disso, não foi determinado um período exato para o acompanhamento com o uso de imagens, apenas sua relevância para evitar a progressão indesejável da patologia.
Intracranial aneurysms are common and frequently seen by neurologists. This is an anomalous dilation of a cerebral artery, which results in the formation of a sac or balloon located in the wall of the blood vessel. This research aims to study and analyze the frequency of arteriographies in patients with intracranial aneurysms that have not completely thrombosed by selecting appropriately preselected original articles. This integrative, fundamental, observational and descriptive systematic review results in the idea that intracranial aneurysms imaging in the endovascular era enables surveillance and post-treatment follow-up, prejudging possible future undesirable risks. In conclusion, there is a need for medical follow-up using arteriographies in these specific patients with personalized treatment. Additionally, no exact period was determined for monitoring with the use of imaging, only its relevance to avoid undesirable progression of the pathology.
