Vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm rebleeding after proximal occlusion--case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 38-year-old male presented with vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm manifesting as subarachnoid hemorrhage. An attempt at trapping the aneurysm failed, so the vertebral artery could only be clipped proximally. Rebleeding occurred, resulting in death, probably due to excessive length of the dissection requiring thrombosis and/or retrograde dissection due to back pressure from the contralateral vertebral artery.

BACKGROUND Internal trapping in which the dissecting aneurysm is occluded represents reliable treatment to prevent rebleeding of ruptured vertebral artery (VA) dissecting aneurysms. Various methods of internal trapping are available, but which is most appropriate for preventing both recanalization of the VA and procedural complications is unclear. CASE DESCRIPTION A 61-year-old male presented...

aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar system has been reported to account for 4.5% of intracranial SAH (1). Since ruptured VA dissecting aneurysms are associated with a higher incidence of rebleeding (2, 3), early diagnosis and treatment are required (4). Due to its lower invasiveness and good outcomes, endovascular treatment has been considered an alternative treatment modality for ruptured VA diss...

The preoperative Hunt and Kosnik grade was I in nine cases, Ia in four cases, II in three cases, III in three cases, and IV in one case. Rebleeding occurred in six cases, in four cases within 24 hours after the initial bleeding, and in every case within 6 days. In two c...
