Dissection of the distal vertebral artery treated by modified parent artery trapping and a contralateral stent barricade. A case report.
Endovascular trapping is the preferred treatment method for a vertebral dissecting aneurysm. We describe a case of ruptured dissecting aneurysms located just proximal to the vertebrobasilar junction treated by trapping the dissecting segment and barricading the basilar artery with a stent to protect against coil protrusion. Modified parent artery trapping with a stent barricade allows preservation of the adjoining confluent zone or side branch during endovascular trapping of the vertebral dissection.
