Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application of endovascular distal parent artery occlusion in vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms involving the posterior inferior cerebellar artery.Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 5 patients with vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms involving the posterior inferior cerebellar artery who received the endovascular distal parent artery occlusion were retrospectively analyzed.Results Complete occlusion of dissected arterial and aneurysm segments was achieved in 4 patients.After followed up 6-12 months,angiography showed no recurrence or neurological deficit.Continued filling of the dissected aneurysm was observed in 1 patient's follow-up angiography,but without rehaemorrhagia or neurological deficit.Conclusions The endovascular distal parent artery occlusion is a safe and efficient choice for treating vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms involving the posterior inferior cerebellar artery,which keeps the posterior inferior cerebellar artery flowing unobstructed while clipping the dissecting aneurysm.
