Stent-graft placement for wide-neck aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar junction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case in which a stent-graft was used to treat an aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar junction. According to our literature search, this is one of the first cases involving the intracranial placement of a stent-graft and the first case in which an aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar junction was treated in this manner. A stent-graft can be useful device for the neuroendovascular treatment of aneurysms in select patients.

Retrograde Stent Placement for Coil Embolization of a Wide-Necked Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm
Wide-necked aneurysms of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are infrequently encountered in cerebrovascular practice, and endovascular treatment is difficult or impossible even with the use of several neck remodeling techniques. We present the case of a patient with a wide-necked aneurysm of the PICA, which was treated by the retrograde stenting through the contralateral vertebral ...
متن کاملStent-Assisted Coil Embolization of a Wide-Neck Aneurysm at the Vertebral Artery Terminus Using a Contralateral Approach: A Technical Report.
BACKGROUND Aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) are especially uncommon but carry a significant risk of hemorrhage and historically have been difficult to treat. In recent years, however, advancements in stent-assisted embolization have allowed better access and stabilization of complicated posterior circulation aneurysms. METHODS We describe a novel approach in the treatment of a ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Slipstream Flow in a Wide-necked Basilar Artery Aneurysm with use of Blood Pump
A replica of a lethal wide-necked basilar artery aneurysm was created by casting a deceased patient’s brain vessels and then placing the replica in a circuit of pulsating optically clear non-Newtonian fluid. Individual fluid slipstreams were opacified with isobaric dyes, and images were recorded on film. Studies were completed on the vascular replica, then were repeated, first after placement o...

PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of combining stent implantation in the parent artery with endosaccular coil placement for the treatment of experimentally created wide-necked aneurysms. METHODS Wide-necked aneurysms were surgically created on the common carotid artery in 12 swine. A metal stent was endovascularly implanted across each aneurysm neck and its effect documented anigiographically...
