The distal vertebral and the basilar arteries demonstrate areas of severe stenosis. B, Occlusion of the aneurysm with thrombosis of the distal part of the stent and total occlusion of the left PCA. C, Final result, with recanalization of the stent and of the PCA following the administration of 15-mg eptifibatide on the clot and balloon angioplasty of the stenotic lesions. Note that there are no signs of aneurysm recanalization.
