Introduction: Subclavian steal phenomenon causes retrograde flow through the vertebral artery, ipsilateral to the affected subclavian artery, which rarely leads to flow-related vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) aneurysms.
Case Descriptions: We describe two cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage from such ruptured aneurysms in which the retrograde flow direction in the vertebral artery complicated surgical and endovascular treatment.
Discussion: Reversed flow in the vertebral artery, ipsilateral to the stenotic subclavian artery leads to a lack of proximal control in surgical clipping of these VBJ aneurysms and jeopardizes stability of coil and stent placement in endovascular aneurysm treatments in this setting.
Background And Purpose: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is an intrasaccular flowdisruptor that is increasingly used for the treatment of (wide-necked) aneurysms. We present our experience with the WEB for unruptured aneurysms.
Materials And Methods: Between April 2014 and August 2019, 93 patients with 95 unruptured aneurysms were primarily treated with the WEB.
Background: With the increasing age of acute stroke patients being admitted to hospitals, more data are needed on indications, complications and outcome of endovascular treatment (EVT) in the very elderly.
Methods: Retrospective observational study with data collection from Belgian, Swiss, Canadian comprehensive stroke centers and Swedish EVT National database. All patients with acute ischemic stroke were eligible if aged older than or ≥90 years and treated with EVT ± pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
Background And Purpose: Flow diverters are increasingly used to treat intracranial aneurysms. We report the safety and efficacy of the p64 flow diverter, a resheathable and detachable device for intracranial aneurysms.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 108 patients with 109 aneurysms treated with the p64 between March 2014 and July 2019.
