Radical surgical treatment for recurrent giant fusiform thrombosed vertebral artery aneurysm previously coiled
BACKGROUND Fusiform aneurysms are rare (<1%) and the underlying pathophysiology is not well known. Endovascular coiling is the standard of treatment; however, a surgical procedure with vascular reconstruction by excluding the pathological segment of the vessel and restoring the blood flow, seems to be the most effective and definitive treatment. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a patient who presen...
متن کاملStrategy for treating unruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms.
BACKGROUND The natural course of unruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this retrospective study was to develop a strategy for treating unruptured VADAs based on long-term follow-up.

متن کاملGrowth of a thrombosed giant vertebral artery aneurysm after parent artery occlusion.
Parent artery ligation is an accepted treatment for intracranial aneurysms that are not amenable to a direct surgical approach. Parent artery ligation is one of the oldest effective surgical means of aneurysm therapy (the "Hunterian principle" (1 ]). Recently it has become possible to perform parent artery occlusion of the carotid or vertebral artery percutaneously by using detachable balloon t...
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment of a Large Partially Thrombosed Basilar Tip Aneurysm
Despite the remarkable developments in neurosurgical and neuro-interventional procedures, the optimal treatment for large or giant partially thrombosed aneurysms with a mass effect remains controversial. The authors report a case of a partially thrombosed aneurysm with a mass effect, which was successfully treated by stent-assisted coil embolization. A 41-year-old man presented with headache. B...
متن کاملAn unruptured, thrombosed 10 cm right coronary artery aneurysm mimicking a pericardial cyst
