  • Growth and rupture rates in small unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) appeared to be relatively low, but the quality of published evidence is poor and current guidelines may need to consider specific follow-up imaging recommendations, researchers said. (medpagetoday.com)
  • Our review highlights that studies had substantial heterogeneity in imaging frequency and duration, as well as in growth and rupture rates of UIAs 7 mm and smaller," they noted. (medpagetoday.com)
