Abstract
- Treatment of vertebral artery aneurysms can be challenging due to the unusual vascular anatomy or unfeasibility of traditional endovascular techniques. We describe a novel approach for endovascular treatment of a ruptured intracranial vertebral artery aneurysm with bilateral vertebral artery occlusions and hypoplasia of the posterior communicating arteries. Successful coil embolization was performed using a collateral pathway for microcatheterization via anastomosis between the deep cervical artery and the vertebral artery. This case report highlights a novel alternative endovascular treatment approach for vertebrobasilar aneurysms in case of a poor vascular status with occlusion or lack of traditional endovascular access routes.<br />Competing Interests: None declared.<br /> (Thieme.
