Endovascular treatment of P3 segment of posterior cerebral artery aneurysm with stent and coils - 04/06/22
Abstract |
Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms are rare and usually arise from proximal portion of the artery. The distal location is even less frequent, and aneurysms in this location tend to be larger and dissecting. Although they can be treated by direct surgery, recently endovascular procedures have been preferred in some centers. We report a case of large aneurysm of the posterior cerebral artery in a 45-year-old female presenting with headache. An uneventful endovascular treatment was performed with stent and platinum coils achieving total occlusion of the aneurysm, and the patient had good recovery. The findings are compared to earlier reports and literature regarding the issue is discussed.
