Balloon occlusion of the parent vessel and endosaccular coiling are both frequently used for treatment of intracavernous aneurysms of the carotid artery. We performed a systematic review of studies reporting on these two treatment modalities to assess the rate of complications, rate of successful aneurysm occlusion, and clinical condition after treatment.
