Basilar artery fenestration aneurysms are very rare and endovascular management of large and complex aneurysms is extremely challenging. Most of these type of cases are managed with stent assisted coiling, dual flow diverters (FD) and single FD with additional coiling of aneurysm and occlusion of one of the vertebral artery. Here, we report a case of large complex basilar artery fenestration aneurysm successfully treated with single FD using novel technique called "crossing flow diverter technique" without any additional coiling of aneurysm or occlusion of vertebral artery. Using this technique cost of procedure and procedural complexity inherent with other above mentioned techniques can be significantly reduced.
基底动脉开窗动脉瘤非常罕见,对大而复杂的动脉瘤进行血管内治疗极具挑战性。大多数此类病例采用支架辅助弹簧圈、双血流导向装置(FD)和单 FD 联合动脉瘤额外弹簧圈填塞和椎动脉闭塞来治疗。在此,我们报告了一例使用新型“交叉血流转向技术”的单 FD 成功治疗的大型复杂基底动脉开窗动脉瘤病例,无需对动脉瘤进行额外弹簧圈填塞或椎动脉闭塞。使用这种技术可以显著降低其他上述技术所固有的手术成本和复杂性。
