ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Paraophthalmic aneurysms may exert mass effect on the optic apparatus. Although surgical clipping and endovascular coiling of these aneurysms can be complicated by immediate postoperative visual deterioration, endovascular coil embolization has the unique risk of visual complications later (>24 h) in the perioperative period. METHODS Six patients with a delayed onset of vision loss after technically successful coil embolization of paraophthalmic region aneurysms were identified. All available clinical, angiographic, and cross sectional imaging for these patients, in addition to histopathological data, were reviewed. RESULTS Six patients who underwent endovascular treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms at our institutions developed delayed postoperative visual decline. Four were treated with combination hydrogel-coated and bare platinum coils, one with hydrogel-coated coils, and one with bare platinum coils. Three patients presented with some degree of visual impairment caused by their aneurysms. Catheter angiography performed after the visual decline revealed no etiology in any of the cases. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in all patients and was unremarkable in two. At follow-up, two had improved, three remained unchanged, and one patient died before any follow-up assessment of her vision. CONCLUSION Both acute and delayed visual disturbances can present after the endovascular treatment of carotid artery paraophthalmic aneurysms. Delayed visual deterioration can be observed up to 35 days after embolization. Although the cause is still undefined, it is likely that the more delayed visual deterioration can be attributed to progression of mass effect and/or perianeurysmal inflammatory change. Our case series raises the possibility that this phenomenon may be more likely with HydroCoil (HydroCoil Embolic System; MicroVention, Aliso Viejo, CA). This possibility should be taken into account by neurointerventionists when selecting a coil type to treat large paraophthalmic aneurysms.

Purpose: Coil embolization of paraclinoid aneurysms should be simple, safe, and effective considering the benign nature of the aneurysm. Here, we present a microcatheter stabilization technique using a partially inflated balloon for the treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 58 patients who underwent balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) for unruptured paraclinoid aneurysms at a tertiary neuro-intervention center between January 2019 and March 2020. We applied a technique to stabilize the microcatheter’s position using the modified BAC technique in paraclinoid aneurysms showing various projections around the ophthalmic curve of the internal carotid artery. The basic concept of the technique is to place a partially inflated balloon just distal to the aneurysm neck and support the distal curve of the microcatheter using the proximal bottom of the balloon. Immediate radiological outcomes were analyzed, and clinical outcomes were evaluated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores.Results: The BAC was successfully performed in 51 of 58 patients (88%). We treated the remaining seven patients by switching to stent-assisted coiling. We obtained a 37% mean packing density resulting in favorable occlusion in all 58 aneurysms (complete occlusion in 35 and residual neck in 23). There were no intraprocedural thromboembolic or hemorrhagic events except one that revealed an asymptomatic infarction after the procedure (1.7%). Magnetic resonance angiography follow-up was performed in 37 patients at an average of 11.8 months, in which 11 minor recurrences (29.7%) were found. There was no major recurrence nor retreatment. The mRS score was 0 in all patients during a mean follow-up of 17.7 months (range, 12–25 months).Conclusion: The modified balloon-assisted coiling technique using a partially inflated balloon was safe and effective and could serve as an option for treating paraclinoid aneurysms.

Background: Both the high frequency of recurrence of large or giant paraclinoid aneurysms (PA) of the internal carotid artery and the occurrence of intra- and postoperative complications, leading to unsatisfactory results of surgical treatment of this group of patients, make the stated problem urgent. Flow-diverter embolization devices are actively used in many large international neurosurgical centers for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms of different morphology, size, and localization. Currently, there are very few reports on the effectiveness of the use of flow diverting stents in the surgical treatment of large and giant PA of the internal carotid artery. The results of these studies are controversial and largely contradictory. Aim: Outcome analysis of the use of Pipeline embolization device (PED) for the surgical treatment of large and giant carotid PA. Methods: The study enrolled 37 patients (25 women, 12 men; mean age 51.7±10.7 years) who were divided into those treated with the PED alone versus those treated with the PED and concurrent coil embolization. The average follow-up period was 19.7±3.8 months. Results: In 56.7% of cases, PA caused the development of an insignificant neurological deficit (Modified Rankin Scale 1−2). In 18.9% of patients, PA provoked a gross neurologic deficit (MRS 3−5). 24.3% of patients with PA did not have any clinical-neurological manifestations. After the surgery, neurologic status improved in 32.4% of patients, remained the same — in 45.9% of cases, and the degree of neurologic deficit increased in 21.6%. PED procedure was performed in 70.2% of patients. In 29.7% of cases, the dislocation of large or giant PA of the internal carotid artery from the systemic blood stream was performed using PED and concurrent coil embolization. At the indicated period of patient observation, complete occlusion of large and giant carotid PA was achieved in 75.6% of cases, almost complete and partial occlusion — in 24.3%. The incidence of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications was 10.8% and 8.1%, respectively. Mortality rate among patients was 2.7%. Conclusions: The use of PED is an effective method for occluding large or giant PA of the internal carotid artery. Nevertheless, this method of endovascular treatment of PA is associated with a high complication incidence.
