Item Embolización endovascular de aneurismas: avances recientes y perspectivas futuras. Revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Arroyo Salazar, Valentina; Ramos Peña, María Angelica; Trujillo Leyton, María Alexa; López López, María Nela (Directora)Introduction: An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation of the arterial lumen due to congenital factors or increased pressure in the arterial wall. However, currently, techniques such as EEV have been implemented that offer high success rates, such as the evolution of stents and EEV with cyanoacrylate glue (1). Objective: To know the recent advances and future perspectives in endovascular embolization techniques and devices for the treatment of aneurysms. Materials and methods: This review was established by a search of data distributed as follows: Taylor & Francis (7), PubMe (3), Springer (8), ScienceDirect (7) and Dialnet (1), Oxford Academic (2), Google Scholar (15) and SciELO (8) repositories, for a total of (51). Results: Aneurysms can be distributed in different anatomical locations, such as thoracic aneurysms with a prevalence of 0.16 to 0.34%, ascending aortic aneurysms 50%, cerebral aneurysms 20%, among others. However, today great advances have been achieved for the treatment of aneurysm such as: the Alpha Stent with a unique design for wall apposition, when used a success rate of 97.1% was obtained, and in six months a complete or almost complete occlusion of the aneurysm in 52 of the 54 patients (96.2%), with a complication rate of 2.9% without morbidity or mortality; this stent is effective and safe for the management of intracranial aneurysms, which have allowed to improve the functionality and lifestyle of the patient. On the other hand, EEV offers a variety of advantages, such as: shorter postoperative time, quick and easy recovery, lower risk and complications; unlike microsurgery, which is a precise alternative, but nevertheless requires greater invasion. Conclusion: EEV represents a valuable option in the therapeutic arsenal for the treatment of aneurysms, contributing to improve clinical results and quality of life of patients.
