Background: Parent artery occlusion (PAO) with or without bypass surgery is a feasible treatment for large intracavernous carotid artery (ICCA) aneurysms. The ideal occlusion site (internal or common carotid artery [CCA]) and ischemic complications after PAO have received special attention since the description of the technique. Unfrequently, some patients can also develop unusual external carotid artery-internal carotid artery collateral pathways distal to the ligation site that can explain the failure to aneurysm size reduction. Case Description: We describe a rare case of delayed refilling of a large ICCA aneurysm partially thrombosed which early recanalized after surgical ligation of the cervical CCA through an unusual collateral pathway. Conclusion: Based on our experience, we recommend periodic long-term follow-up neuroimaging, especially in those cases where potential collateral branches have not been clearly identified in the preoperative studies.

We treated a 70-year-old man with a giant paraophthalmic region aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery using the parent artery occlusion technique with three detachable balloons. Initially, the patient did well, but migration of the distal balloon into the aneurysm was detected seven months later. This report suggests that initial parent artery occlusion using balloons will not always induce permanent thrombosis of a large aneurysm, because the occlusion and thrombosis is strictly dependant on the position of the balloons that are used, and adjunct use of coils may be indicated.

Abstract BACKGROUND Selected intracranial aneurysms still require parent artery occlusion. Although such occlusion is usually performed proximal to the aneurysm, in rare instances, it may be difficult or impossible to access the proximal parent artery. OBJECTIVE To describe the use of parent artery sacrifice distal to the aneurysm (distal outflow occlusion) in the management of complex aneurysms not amenable to standard microsurgical or endovascular therapy. METHODS We reviewed a comprehensive database of intracranial aneurysms evaluated between 1997 and 2013. Hospital records, neuroimaging studies, operative reports, and outpatient clinic notes were examined for all patients treated with distal outflow occlusion. RESULTS Eighteen patients (11 women, 7 men; ages 28-69 years) underwent surgical distal outflow occlusion. Eight (44%) underwent concomitant distal revascularization. Intraoperative and delayed postoperative angiography was performed in every case. Nine presented with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, 1 had a remote bleeding episode. The remaining lesions were unruptured; 3 were discovered incidentally, 3 had symptomatic cerebral edema, 1 had transient ischemic attacks, and 1 had cranial neuropathy. The average follow-up period was 6.5 years; no patient was lost to follow-up review. Two aneurysms required delayed endovascular treatment. Overall, 16 patients achieved a good outcome, 1 had moderate disability, and 1 died. CONCLUSION We describe our experience with distal outflow occlusion in the treatment of complex aneurysms not amenable to primary clip reconstruction or endovascular therapy. This technique has been described in very limited fashion in the past and may be particularly useful for patients requiring parent artery occlusion when proximal occlusion is challenging or impossible.

We have treated 142 aneurysms with intrasaccular or parent artery occlusions. Selective intrasaccular occlusions were attempted on 109 cases. Total or subtotal saccular occlusion was achieved in 93 of 96 cases. Intrasaccular occlusion could not be achieved in 13 cases because of various reasons such as wide neck, branching from aneurysmal dome, difficult to catheterize, and aneurysm too small. Parent artery occlusion was attempted on 33 cases. Twenty-five patients had giant aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) at the cavernous portion. The rest of this group had dissecting or fusiform aneurysms of the vertebral artery. Parent artery occlusion was achieved in 30 cases with six ischemic symptoms. High percentage of occlusion rate and low morbidity and mortality for metallic coil embolization prove the efficacy of this endovascular treatment.
