Endovascular Strategies for Vertebrobasilar Dissecting Aneurysms

Abstract

Endovascular procedures for treatment of unruptured symptomatic dissecting aneurysms resulted in favorable outcomes. Ruptured vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms are associated with a high risk of periprocedural complications. Risks can be managed by using appropriate endovascular techniques according to aneurysm location, configuration, and relationship with the PICA.
