Comparison of carotid and basilar bifurcation aneurysms versus non-T-angled bifurcations: the geometry is associated with the outcome
Patients with ruptured aneurysms of carotid bifurcation artery seem to suffer less often from cerebral vasospasm and early brain injury and have a better clinical outcome. Aim of our study was to identify diff...
