Vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms associated with fenestration: treatment with Guglielmi detachable coils.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three patients with vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms and associated fenestration were treated with Guglielmi detachable coils. The structure and hemodynamics of fenestrations may account for their frequent association with aneurysms. The complex hemodynamics of these aneurysms requires evaluation of both vertebral arteries. One treatment complication occurred but resulted in no deficit. All patients have returned to normal activity and remain healthy at 14 to 46 months.

متن کاملTopic review: surface modifications enhancing biological activity of guglielmi detachable coils in treating intracranial aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Endovascular therapy with Guglielmi detachable coils is an accepted treatment option for patients with intracranial aneurysms. However, an emerging technology in the realm of endovascular tools is the use of traditional Guglielmi detachable coils with biologically active substances complexed to the coil surface to enhance aneurysm occlusion. METHODS We review the literature and cur...
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of multiple aneurysms involving the posterior intracranial circulation.
The results of surgery on multiple intracranial aneurysms tha involve the vertebrobasilar circulation are poor, and associated patient mortality remains high. We describe the endovascular treatment of four patients with mutiple aneurysms that involved the posterior intracrancial circulation. Satisfactory occlusion of all aneurysms was achieved by using electrolytically detachable coils, and all...

Fenestrations of the cerebral arteries are uncommon, and aneurysms in association with fenestrations are even more uncommon. We report the case of a saccular aneurysm associated with a posterior cerebral artery fenestration in a child with subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient was successfully treated with Guglielmi detachable coils. This case is unusual because of the patient's age and the loca...
