Summary
Partially thrombosed aneurysms can be challenging to treat. A flow diverting stent successfully treated a large basilar donut aneurysm without coils, avoiding brainstem compression.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Partially thrombosed aneurysms with circular flow present complex treatment challenges.
- The presence of central thrombus can complicate standard endovascular approaches.
