Thrombosis in giant basilar tip aneurysms during coil embolization.

Delayed rupture of a basilar artery aneurysm treated with coils: case report and review of the literature.

Delayed rupture of a previously unruptured cerebral aneurysm after uneventful saccular coil packing is rare, particularly when the quality of aneurysm occlusion is appropriate (neck remnant or total occlusion). The present report describes the case of a 70-year-old woman with an incidentally detected, asymptomatic, small basilar tip non-thrombosed aneurysm who experienced rupture of the aneurys...

Bailout stent deployment during coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Self-expandable stents are an effective tool for coil embolization of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and results of bailout stent positioning during rescue situations after deployment of > or =1 coil. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 318 aneurysms treated by coil embolization in 267 patients, 16 patients who were tre...

Blood Flow Into Basilar Tip Aneurysms

Endovascular coil embolization is an established treatment for intracranial aneurysms. The efficacy of coil embolization has been proven for the prevention of rebleeding in the acute phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endovascular coil embolization is occasionally preferred in the management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms because it is less invasive than surgical clipping. Howev...

Usefulness of Non-Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography Using a Silent Scan for Follow-Up after Y-Configuration Stent-Assisted Coil Embolization for Basilar Tip Aneurysms.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Y-configuration stent-assisted coil embolization is used for treating wide-neck aneurysms. Noninvasive alternatives to x-ray DSA for follow-up after Y-configuration stent-assisted coil embolization treatment are required. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of non-contrast-enhanced MRA by using a Silent Scan (silent MRA) for follow-up after Y-configuration stent-ass...
