Abstract

EVT appears to be a safe and effective treatment for MMD-IA, demonstrating high occlusion rates and favorable functional outcomes. However, the risk of aneurysm recurrence highlights the importance of long-term follow-up. Further large studies are necessary to confirm these findings and optimize treatment strategies for this complex condition.
