Abstract:
Objective To summarize the technique of stent placement in treatment of fusiform aneurysms and dissecting aneurysms of vertebral artery. Methods we report a retrospective analysis of 16 aneurysms which underwent stent placement ,9 fusiform aneurysms which performed by using stent and GDC;7 dissecting aneurysms which performed by using stent first, Stent placement was followed by coil placement in the 5 aneurysms. Results all patients were cured,2 of 11 aneurysm showed up transient ischemia of cerebral.Follow-up angiographic studies performed in 13 patients from 3 months to 24 months revealed no aneurysm regrowth and no incident of in-stent stenosis.Conclusions the treatment of fusiform aneurysms and dissecting aneurysm of vertebral artery is distinguishing, Using stent combined with GDC to treat fusiform and dissecting aneurysm may restore the patency of parent artery and become safe and effective treatment for fusiform and dissecting aneurysm of vertebral artery.
