View larger version (114K): [in a new window]   FIG 2. A and B, Microcatheter coursing from right internal carotid through right posterior communicator, right P1 segment, basilar tip, and left P1 segment into left P2 segment. C (PA) and D (lateral), Neuroform stent deployed across aneurysm neck, with distal markers in left P1 segment and proximal markers in right posterior communicating artery. E, Arterial appearance immediately following stent deployment. F and G, Aneurysm after coil embolization of recurrent portion with stent support. H, Appearance 6 months after stent placement and coil retreatment. (Unopacified inflow from posterior communicating artery confirms its patency.)
