    DSA studies showing examples of A1 segment categories with white and black arrows indicating right and left A1, respectively, for codominant (A) and dominant (B and C) configurations. Panels B and C demonstrate A1 dominant cases with diminutive and absent contralateral A1 segments, respectively.

    Fig 2.

    Anatomic dimensions of aneurysm neck width and remnants taken at baseline and follow-up imaging. All cases with available measurements in each group were included regardless of angiographic classification as listed in Table 1. The A1-dominant AcomA aneurysm group had a larger mean neck width at baseline and more variance in neck remnant at follow-up, P = .03 and .01 by *t test and **F test, respectively.
