New Trial Procedure Shows Promising Results in Treating Brain Aneurysms

The video discusses a new trial procedure for treating brain aneurysms, highlighting its significant results. The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial, funded by the UK's Medical Research Council, compared traditional neurosurgery with a new endovascular method using platinum coils. This less invasive procedure has shown a higher survival rate and reduced disability. The trial involved over 2000 patients across multiple countries and was stopped early due to its striking outcomes. The new method has gained rapid acceptance in the UK and France, with slower adoption in the USA and Germany.

What were the results of the trial after one year regarding patient disabilities?

In which countries has the coil treatment gained acceptance, and where is its use lower?
