Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of endovaseular treatment of vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs).Methods The clinical data of 7 patients with VADAs underwent endovascular treatment were analyzed retrospectively.Results Seven patients with VADAs successfully received endovascular treatment.Two patients with the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage were treated with aneurysm embolization and parent artery embolization.Immediate postoperative angiography showed VADAs disappeared completely.The other 5 patients with unruptured VADAs were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization.Immediate postoperative angiography showed that 2 patients had complete occlusion,3 had almost complete occlusion.Angiographic follow-up of patients showed that VADAs did not develop.No recurrence and bleeding were observed.Conclusions The endovascular treatment of VADAs is safe and feasible.
