FIG 1. Patient 25.

A, Anteroposterior and B, lateral diagnostic angiograms demonstrate a dissecting aneurysm of the dominant left vertebral artery involving the supra-PICA segment and proximal basilar artery (arrow). Arrowhead indicates the pseudoaneurysm.

C, Lateral view of the left internal carotid artery injection shows good collateral circulation to the basilar artery (arrow) through the posterior communicating artery after proximal occlusion of the left vertebral artery. Arrowhead indicates the tip of the distal balloon.

D, Two-year follow-up left internal carotid artery angiogram in the lateral projection shows interval thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm and dissected segment of the left vertebral artery. The basilar artery (arrow) appears less irregular.
