Treatment of a Giant Basilar Artery Aneurysm With a Bridging Stent and Subsequent Coil Occlusion of the Stent

Abstract

The patient experienced immediate total occlusion of the aneurysm with almost total recuperation after 1 year.

Treatment of a Giant Fusiform Basilar Aneurysm with Partial Intra-Aneurysmal Embolization Combined with Mid-Basilar Artery Occlusion in a Child

“…Recently, Jones et al [ 21 ] and Wenderroth et al [ 22 ] have published their cases describing successful endosaccular treatment of giant BA aneurysm with BA trunk occlusion. Endovascular BA occlusion alone without aneurismal packing for blood flow reversal is one alternative treatment for geometrically difficult vertebrobasilar aneurysms either through unilateral or bilateral VA occlusion or selective BA occlusion [ 23 – 25 ].…”

Flow Diverters in the Treatment of Pediatric Cerebrovascular Diseases

“…Analyzing the 35 cases reported in the literature in which there is a somewhat detailed description of the placement of cerebral vascular scaffolds in children, we found that antiplatelet administration for endovascular treatment was extremely variable (On-line Table 2). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]25,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] There are neither guidelines published on antiplatelet therapy (APT) in children with cerebrovascular diseases 25 nor conclusive trials on pediatric APT regimens. 44,45 Weight-based dose calculations extrapolated from an adult dosing of 75 mg per day are not only misleading but also may lead to lifethreatening consequences.…”
