Complete Obliteration of a Basilar Artery Aneurysm after Insertion of a Self-Expandable Leo Stent into the Basilar Artery without Coil Embolization

Abstract: We report a case of a 45-year-old man who underwent endovascular treatment in the acute setting of a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of a wide-necked basilar trunk aneurysm. The patient was treated with stent implantation without coiling. A control angiographic scan obtained immediately after the procedure revealed significantly decreased intraaneurysmal flow. Follow-up angiography performed after one month demonstrated total aneurysm occlusion.

“…Application of a stent into the parent artery alters the intra-aneurysmal flow pattern that facilitates thrombosis and reduction of coil compaction in the region of inflow zone and prevents subsequent regrowth of aneurysm [ 7 ]. Conversely, the Y-stenting might have changed the hemodynamics of the aneurysm blood flow, which might be a contributory factor for rupture [ 8 ].…”

“…Juszkat et al [17] inserted stents into intracranial aneurysms with wide necks, which is a difficult clipping maneuver [18] . Follow-up angiography after 1 month showed a decreased flow rate into the aneurysms, resulting in occlusion of the aneurysm sac.…”
