Abstract:BACKGROUND
The treatment of vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) aneurysms is challenging. Although flow diverters (FDs) are a possible treatment option, geometrical conditions hinder intervention. VBJ aneurysms possess dual inflow vessels from the bilateral vertebral arteries (VAs), one of which is ideally occluded prior to FD treatment. However, it remains unclear which VA should be occluded.
OBSERVATIONS
A 75-year-old male with a growing VBJ complex aneurysm exhibiting invagination toward the brainstem and caus… Show more
