An interesting case of reruptured endovascularly coiled aneurysm managed with clipping

Abstract

Endovascular treatment has proven to be effective in the management of intracranial aneurysm, and can achieve permanent occlusion in up to 85% of cases, reducing the bleeding or rebleeding rate. A paradigm shift from microsurgical clipping to endovascular intervention has been observed since the publication of the International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial. Aneurysm recurrence after coil embolization remains both a major shortcoming of endovascular treatment and a daunting challenge for neurosurgeons without optimal management strategies.: We present a case report of a patient with history of previously endovascularly coiled and presenting with aneurysmal bleed. Microsurgical clipping is an effective intervention for managing reruptured previously coiled intracranial aneurysm.
