title: Neck-bridge device for combined endovascular and surgical treatment of a giant anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
abstract: We report the case of a 58-year-old man with a giant partially thrombosed anterior communicating artery aneurysm, which presented with mass effect. Our treatment strategy consisted of endovascular aneurysm circulatory exclusion prior to surgical resection. To do so, we first occluded both the two A1 segments and the aneurysm neck with a neck-bridge device to prevent further coil migration within the aneurysm sac. Five days later, the aneurysm was surgically removed.
