Combined Endovascular Stent Implantation and Endosaccular Coil Placement for the Treatment of a Wide-necked Vertebral Artery Aneurysm: Technical Case Report

Abstract

This report describes a case of a wide-necked intracranial artery aneurysm treated using a combination of endovascular stent implantation across an aneurysm neck and endosaccular coil placement to obliterate the aneurysm. The technique described provides another treatment to better manage the difficult entity of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms that may be unsuitable for clipping.
