Summary
Sole stenting offers a new endovascular approach for rare superior cerebellar artery aneurysms. This technique successfully treated two cases, preserving the parent vessel and distal circulation.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms has advanced with detachable coils.
- Sole stenting is an emerging technique for specific saccular or fusiform aneurysms.
Observation:
- Superior cerebellar artery aneurysms are uncommon, with limited reported treatments.
- Surgical intervention or parent vessel occlusion were traditional endovascular approaches.
Findings:
- The authors present the first two cases of superior cerebellar artery aneurysms treated with sole stenting.
- Complete aneurysm cure was achieved, preserving the parent vessel and distal blood flow.
Implications:
- Sole stenting demonstrates potential as a definitive endovascular treatment for these rare aneurysms.
- The technique may offer advantages in vessel angulation and shear stress modification.
