Summary
Delayed rupture of an aneurysm after WEB device embolization is a rare complication. This case highlights a significant increase in intracranial pressure and hemorrhage occurring hours after initial successful WEB treatment for a complex aneurysm.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Interventional Neuroradiology
- Cerebrovascular Disease
Background:
- The Woven Endobridge (WEB) device is an effective treatment for wide-necked aneurysms.
- Complications associated with WEB embolization are generally low, but delayed events are not well-documented.

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...
