Impact of lifetime and current smoking exposure on the rupture status, number, and size of intracranial aneurysms
Our data underline the role of smoking in IA genesis, and the importance of smoking cessation for rupture prevention. Current and particularly heavy smoking increases the risk of IA rupture, whereas the chronic exposure over years more likely results in the development of multiple and large IA.
