Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of intracranial aneurysms remains a major clinical challenge, particularly in determining which lesions are at highest risk for progression or rupture and how best to monitor them over time. Current surveillance strategies heavily rely on aneurysm morphology and imaging-based metrics, which incompletely capture the underlying biological processes driving aneurysm instability.
This Special Issue focuses on contemporary challenges in cerebral aneurysm management and emerging approaches to clinical surveillance. Topics of interest include advances in imaging and hemodynamic assessment, biomarkers of aneurysm progression, inflammatory and immune-mediated mechanisms of aneurysm disease, and novel risk stratification strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on translational frameworks that integrate biological, radiographic, and clinical data to improve patient-specific decision-making. By bringing together basic, translational, and clinical perspectives, this Special Issue aims to highlight evolving paradigms in aneurysm surveillance and identify innovative strategies that may ultimately refine how aneurysms are monitored and managed in clinical practice.
