Delayed intraparenchymal hemorrhage following pipeline embolization device treatment for a giant recanalized ophthalmic aneurysm

J Neurointerv Surg. 2012 Sep;4(5):e24. doi: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2011-010129. Epub 2011 Sep 27.

Abstract

The pipeline embolization device has demonstrated clinical success in the management of complex intracranial aneurysms arising along the anterior intracranial circulation with a relatively low complication profile. A case report is presented which describes a novel complication of delayed intraparenchymal hemorrhage following deployment of a pipeline embolization device for the treatment of a previously ruptured partially thrombosed ophthalmic segment aneurysm.
