Abstract:
Ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery requires a rapid treatment because of the high rate of fatal early rebleeding. Stent-assisted coil embolization has been introduced as an effective procedure for both aneurysmal occlusion and parent artery preservation. We report a case of successful urgent treatment of ruptured dissecting aneurysm using a self-expandable, intracranial stent (Neuroform(R)) and a coated coil (HydroCoil(R)).
