Background: The treatment of internal carotid artery (ICA) - posterior communicating artery aneurysms (ICPC aneurysms) is challenging when a fetal posterior cerebral artery (PCA) arises from the saccular neck. This complex angioarchitecture renders endovascular approaches difficult. Giant thrombosed IC-PC aneurysms are also hard to treat by endovascular coiling because its flow-diversion effect is insufficient.
Case Description: We report the first case of a ruptured giant thrombosed IC-PC aneurysm associated with a fetal PCA that was successfully treated by coil embolization with retrograde overlap horizontal stenting using low-profile stents introduced through the contralateral ICA. The aneurysm was completely occluded and follow-up MRI scans demonstrated the reduction of the aneurysmal size.
Conclusion: Our technique is advantageous because low-profile stents can be used to treat lesions not accessible with flow-diverter stents due their presence in complex angioarchitectures, and overlap stenting may have flow-diversion effects that can result in the complete occlusion of giant thrombosed aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- VEXAS syndrome is an adult-onset autoinflammatory disorder linked to somatic mutations in the X-linked gene affecting the ubiquitin system.
- Patients exhibit a variety of symptoms, including fever, inflammation, and hematological issues like anemia and thrombocytopenia, leading to high morbidity and mortality.
- Current treatments focus on managing symptoms and mutations but are not well-developed, emphasizing the need for supportive care and risk factor management.

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in up to 10% of treated cases, significantly increasing the risk of thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While thrombolytic therapy is commonly used in adult coronary syndromes, its application in pediatric KD remains poorly studied. We report a 9-month-old infant with KD and giant CAA complicated by a subocclusive thrombus in the left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Article Synopsis
- Coronary aneurysms are a rare condition, occurring in only 0.02% to 0.2% of the population, with large ones in the left main artery being particularly uncommon.
- A 43-year-old male with respiratory symptoms initially thought to have viral myocarditis was found to have a giant aneurysm in his left main coronary artery.
- Due to the risks associated with surgery, he received conservative treatment, showing stable condition with minor improvement in symptoms, highlighting the need for personalized management based on the patient’s specifics.

Department of Neurosurgery, Yokohama Sakae Kyosai Hospital, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Aneurysms in the V1 segment of the extracranial vertebral artery are rare, with many being giant aneurysms larger than 25 mm.
- An 85-year-old woman had a giant unruptured aneurysm identified in the right vertebral artery, which was causing her dizziness.
- The aneurysm was successfully treated with endovascular coil embolization, preserving the vertebral artery's patency and indicating that such treatments may be effective for similar aneurysms.
