Balloon embolization of a basilar bifurcation aneurysm.
With interventional neuroangiography it is possible to treat medium-sized (diameter ranging from 6 to 15 mm) saccular aneurysms while preserving the parent vessel. In this procedure a balloon is introduced, inflated, and detached into the aneurysm, occluding the sac and the neck [1-5J. Endovascular treatment of inoperable large and giant aneurysms, may require, if tolerated, the permanent ballo...
متن کاملBasilar artery occlusion caused by thrombosis of atherosclerotic fusiform aneurysm of the basilar artery.

CASE DESCRIPTION A 63-year-old man suffered from brain stem infarction. Computed tomography and angiography showed a fusiform aneurysm on the proximal portion of the basilar artery.

متن کاملBasilar artery aneurysm treated with coil embolization via persistent primitive hypoglossal artery.
A saccular aneurysm at the basilar artery bifurcation associated with a persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) was successfully treated by endovascular occlusion with Guglielmi detachable coils. As both vertebral arteries were aplasitc, a microcatheter was advanced via PPHA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the treatment of a basilar top aneurysm th...
متن کاملBasilar artery occlusion.
Twenty patients with basilar artery occlusion and three patients with bilateral vertebral artery occlusions have been studied. The clinical data at the time of the ictus and the long-term follow-up data have been correlated with the site and extent of the basilar artery occlusion and the type of collateral flow. Patients with hypertension and with coma at the outset have a grave prognosis. The ...
