Intraprocedural Rupture of Aneurysms: Not Necessarily a Small Problem

We read with great interest the article by van Rooij et al[1][1] regarding the endovascular treatment of very small aneurysms (<3 mm). The conclusion of the study that coiling of very small aneurysms is more frequently complicated by intraprocedural rupture (IPR) is consistent with previous series
