Hello,
My 10 years old son has a giant (2 cm diameter) aneurysm in LICA. He had an angio last week and we are exploring options for treatment.
Dr. #1feels that the size and location warrant the PED. Which is less invasive and 98% successful rate.
Dr. #2 concluded that PED would be second choice. PED can cause coverage of the ophthalmic artery and may lead to retinal ischemia. Bypass would be first choice. Invasive procedure with 85% success rate.
We want to make an educated decision and need your help to tell us what procedure you had (PED or Bypass) and results. Also if you would recommend it.
My son also has a condition known as PRS, does anybody has that condition too?
Thanks,
Carlos
