Fig. 1. This 49-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital in good clinical condition (WFNS 1). A 5 x 4-mm aneurysm of the basilar tip involving the right superior cerebellar artery (SCA) was found on diagnostic angiography (A). Despite care taken not to compromise the ostium of the SCA with the coil package, the SCA was occluded during the coiling procedure (B). After administration of tirofiban, the vessel reopened within 15 minutes (C). Follow-up angiography 4 months later confirmed patency of the SCA, and the aneurysm remained occluded (D).
