Indocyanine green video angiography-assisted surgical management of coil migration resulting from the endovascular treatment of anterior communicating artery aneurysm: technical case report and instrumentation assessment.

We describe surgical management of herniated coil using indocyanine green video angiography (ICGA) following failure of endovascular retrieval methods in a patient who had endovascular treatment for anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The interdisciplinary cooperation between the endovascular and neurosurgical teams proved to be crucial for obtainment of a desirable outcome in this case. ICGA technology applied in such difficult cases may improve the surgical outcome.
