Abstract:
Intrasaccular flow modification with devices like the Woven EndoBridge (WEB, MicroVention, Inc., Aliso Viejo, California, US) is an increasingly utilized endovascular treatment for bifurcation aneurysms. Among the potential complications of the procedure is branch vessel occlusion. There are no previous publications of rescue stenting for inadvertent branch vessel occlusion with the WEB device. We report two cases of rescue stenting following branch vessel occlusion after cerebral aneurysm embolization with the WEB device. In both cases, rescue stenting with a Neuroform Atlas stent Stryker, Fremont, CA, US) successfully revascularized the occluded vessel and led to good patient outcomes.
