title: Stenting and coil embolization of a ruptured dissecting basilar artery aneurysm associated with coil embolization of a pericallosal artery aneurysm. A case report.
abstract: We describe the case of a 54-year-old woman who underwent endovascular treatment in the setting of a massive subarachnoid haemorrhage due to rupture of a dissecting basilar trunk aneurysm treated with stent implantation and coiling. A further saccular aneurysm in the left pericallosal artery disclosed by four-vessel angiography was treated with coiling during the same procedure. Follow-up DSA performed after six months confirmed complete occlusion of both aneurysms and patency of the stent.
