Frequent Presence

Fusiform aneurysms of the basilar artery present difficult challenges for the treating physician. On one hand, these aneurysms are difficult and dangerous to treat. On the other, the relatively high rupture rate, risk of thromboemboli, and the frequent presence of mass effect on the brainstem often demand treatment rather than observation. While conservative treatment may be reasonable in an elderly patient, the relative resiliency and the larger lifetime cumulative risks of pediatric patients are compelling arguments for treatment. With the advancement of endovascular techniques some of these lesions have become treatable without the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with open surgical treatment, albeit with risks of their own. The authors present the case of a fusiform aneurysm arising from a severely tortuous basilar artery in a 22-month-old boy. The aneurysm was successfully treated using flow diversion by placing multiple intracranial stents without coil embolization. This allowed for thrombosis of the aneurysm and resolution of the mass effect on the brainstem without compromising blood flow to the brainstem.

The Stability

A 56-year-old male was found to have a basilar artery aneurysm by magnetic resonance imaging. Angiography demonstrated a broad neck basilar tip aneurysm. He refused surgical clipping but accepted intravascular embolisation. Introducing catheters were inserted into each of the bilateral vertebral arteries. A microcatheter was introduced into the aneurysm through one of the introducing catheters and a double lumen balloon catheter was introduced into the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) through the other. The balloon was located from the left PCA to the basilar artery across the aneurysmal neck with the aid of a guidewire passed through the inner lumen of the balloon catheter. The balloon was inflated, and a Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) was inserted until the platinum part was placed inside the aneurysm. The balloon was deflated to confirm the stability of the GDC, and then the GDC was electrically detached. This procedure was repeated until nine GDCs were successfully inserted. The aneurysm was tightly embolised despite its broad neck. Angiography comfirmed complete neck closure and stable preservation of the basilar artery and bilateral PCAs immediately, 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after embolisation without evidence of thrombo-embolic complications. Neck plastic intra-aneurysmal GDC embolisation using a protective balloon can be used to treat broad-neck aneurysms.

Access Technique

The femoral approach has been considered the preferred technique for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Occasionally, aneurysms are not amenable to the standard femoral approach. We describe four cases of basilar artery aneurysm that were treated by the direct vertebral artery access of V1 at the cervical region. The direct vertebral artery access technique can provide an alternative route in selected cases for the treatment of basilar artery aneurysms.
