Given clinical equipoise regarding optimal treatment of unruptured ACOMMAAs, this work provides a benchmark for achievable microsurgical outcomes. Future surgical/endovascular studies should separate results of ruptured and unruptured lesions and describe aneurysm morphology to allow for better comparison of outcomes between treatments. We suggest that open microsurgery represents an important option for select, morphologically complex ACOMMAAs, and that a multidisciplinary approach offers optimal patient outcomes.
