FIG 1. Patient 1.
A, Severe subarachnoid hemorrhage and mild hydrocephalus were detected by means of CT examination. The patient also had pulmonary edema at admittance. Four-vessel angiography revealed a saccular aneurysm in the lateral wall of the basilar artery trunk, located between the anterior inferior cerebellar arteries and superior cerebellar arteries. The left posterior cerebral artery filled from the carotid artery contrast medium injection (not shown).
B, Self-expanding 5/24-mm coronary Wallstent (straight arrow) was deployed in the basilar artery over a Choice-PT extra-support guidewire (curved arrow). After deployment, the stent was fully patent and completely covered the base of the aneurysm.
C, Aneurysm was totally thrombosed and stent remained patent on control angiogram obtained 6 months later.
