Preservation of the posterior cerebral arteries during endovascular treatment of wide-neck basilar bifurcation aneurysms remains a technical challenge despite recent device innovations. We present a novel stent deployment technique, the ‘railroad switch’, to protect both posterior cerebral arteries during treatment of a recurrent basilar bifurcation aneurysm. Following asymmetric basilar–posterior cerebral artery stent deployment, favoring distal placement in a posterior cerebral artery, advancement of a jailed microcatheter will advance the proximal stent into the aneurysm, protecting both posterior cerebral arteries and the native basilar terminus. This novel maneuver offers interventionalists another application of commonly used intracranial stents for endovascular management of complex basilar bifurcation aneurysms.

Objectives: Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms demonstrates low rates of morbidity and mortality. However, aneurysms with complex forms and wide neck remain a therapeutic challenge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the endovascular management of a series of intracranial aneurysms using the balloon remodeling technique. Method: A retrospective evaluation was performed on patients with intracranial aneurysms having undergone endovascular treatment with balloon remodeling technique at the Instituto de Neurologia de Curitiba (from October, 2006 to June, 2011). Results: Thirty-four patients were evaluated. The mean age was 55.12 years and 78.79% were female. Thirteen patients had ruptured aneurysms (38.24%) and 8 had vasospasm (23,53%). The majority of the aneurysms (61.76%) had domemeasurements between 5 to 15mm and 41.18% had a neck size of greater than or equal to 4mm. Total occlusion was obtained in 29 aneurysms (85,29%) and partial occlusion in 2 (5.88%). One patient died from a procedure-related hemorrhage. Conclusion: Endovascular treatment with balloon remodeling techniques seems to be a safe and effective treatment for intracranial aneurysms, especially those with complex formsand wide neck.

Abstract In the past, treatment of visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) was exclusively surgical. These aneurysms were rarely diagnosed in elective or emergency cases. Development of imaging techniques and endovascular procedures has changed the history of the therapeutic options for this pathology. Endovascular management of VAAs has arisen to advances in endovascular techniques and has achieved high efficacy.

BackgroundIntrasaccular flow disruption with WEB is a safe and efficacious technique that has significantly changed endovascular management of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs). Use of stent in combination with WEB is occasionally required. We analyzed the frequency of use, indications, safety, and efficacy of the WEB–stent combination.MethodsAll aneurysms treated with WEB and stent were extracted from a prospectively maintained database. Patient and aneurysm characteristics, complications, and anatomical results were independently analyzed by a physician independent of the procedures.ResultsFrom June 2011 to January 2020, 152 patients with 157 aneurysms were treated with WEB. Of these, 17/152 patients (11.2%) with 19/157 aneurysms (12.1%) were treated with WEB device and stent. Indications were very wide neck with a branch emerging from the neck in 1/19 (5.2%) aneurysms and WEB protrusion in 18/19 (94.7%). At 1 month, no morbimortality was reported. At 6 months, anatomical results were complete aneurysm occlusion in 15/17 aneurysms (88.2%), neck remnant in 1/17 (5.9%), and aneurysm remnant in 1/17 (5.9%). At 12 months, there was complete aneurysm occlusion in 13/14 aneurysms (92.9%) and neck remnant in 1/14 (7.1%).ConclusionsCombining WEB and stent is a therapeutic strategy to manage WNBA. In our series, this combination was used in 11.2% of patients treated with WEB, resulting in no morbidity or mortality with a high efficacy at 6 and 12 months (complete aneurysm occlusion in 88.2% and 92.9%, respectively).

AbstractCerebral aneurysm rupture is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling are the mainstay of management for securing the aneurysm. After International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) and Barrow Ruptured Aneurysm Trial (BRAT) results, worldwide trend has shifted gradually in favor of endovascular management. Nonetheless, endovascular management was faced with some limitations, especially while treating giant, wide neck bifurcation, blister, and small uncoilable aneurysm. The recent introduction of new devices such as flow diverter stents, microstents, bifurcation devices, double-lumen balloon catheters, and microcoils have proved to be effective in overcoming the limitations of traditional aneurysm coiling. The authors present a review of recent advances in the endovascular management of cerebral aneurysm.
