Endovascular and Surgical Treatment of Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysms: Comparison of Risks
Ann Neurol 48:11-19, 5, Johnston,S.C. et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Unruptured cerebral aneurysms are commonly treated by surgical clipping, but endovascular coil embolization is increasingly employed as an alternative. In a blinded review of unruptured aneurysms treated at our institution since 1990, we identified patients whose aneurysms were judged to be treatable by both neurosurgeons and neurointerventional radiologists. Coil embolization of unruptured cerebral aneurysm seems to be associated with significantly fewer complications than surgical clipping. More long-term data on aneurysm rupture rates are required to confirm efficacy.
