Evaluating the safety and efficacy of medical management in extracranial pseudoaneurysms: a comparative study
Medical management alone is safe for most extracranial pseudoaneurysms, resulting in significantly fewer complications than endovascular intervention. Maximum diameter ≤ 6 mm and age ≤ 50 years were significant predictors of pseudoaneurysm resolution with medical therapy alone. Lesions that do not heal do not cause further symptoms or require additional intervention.
