The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device has emerged as a promising alternative to endovascular coiling. This case report demonstrates the use of stent-assisted WEB deployment for the embolization of multiple wide-neck posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms. A middle-aged patient was diagnosed with 3 unruptured aneurysms in the P3 and P4 segments of the right PCA, with sizes ranging from 2.5 mm to 6.6 mm. Given the small vessel diameter and distal location of the aneurysms, a combined approach was adopted. Coil embolization was performed for the most distal aneurysm, while stent-assisted WEB deployment was used for the proximal and middle aneurysms. The "flower bud" technique facilitated the safe positioning of the WEB device in challenging anatomical conditions. The procedure was successfully completed without complications, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 with no neurological deficits. Follow-up at 3 months confirmed adequate embolization of all aneurysms, with in-stent stenosis managed conservatively.

Objective: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB; MicroVention TERUMO, Tustin, CA, USA) is an intrasaccular flow disruptor developed for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBA). While its safety and satisfactory mid- to long-term treatment outcomes have been documented, there have also been reports of complications such as WEB protrusion and migration. We encountered 3 cases in which the WEB protruded or migrated to the parent vessel after deployment, necessitating retrieval.

The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is FDA-approved for the treatment of bifurcation aneurysms. Despite its wide popularity, it has been under scrutiny for its association with potential aneurysm recanalization and retreatment due to device shape modification. This study aims to analyze the shape modification rate of WEB devices and identify factors associated with this phenomenon, as well as its correlation with aneurysm retreatment.

In this case study, we presented a challenging neurovascular intervention where a Woven EndoBridge (WEB) intrasaccular device was used to treat a 4.5 mm ruptured vertebral artery fusiform aneurysm by sacrificing the vessel with great precision. The patient had a dissection of the left vertebral artery at the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) origin.
