However, prophylactic therapy of cerebrovascular disease including endovascular options is becoming more and more important. With particular regard to endovascular therapies, this summary deals with the natural course of cerebrovascular diseases and different treatment strategies for asymptomatic intracranial aneurysms, cerebral arteriovenous malformations, and extracranial carotid artery stenoses.
