title: Management of hemorrhagic dissecting vertebral artery aneurysms involving posterior inferior artery.
abstract: We reported 2 cases with hemorrhagic dissecting vertebral artery (VA) aneurysms involving posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), and one was treated with aneurysm trapping and PICA-VA anastomosis, whereas another was treated with coil embolization and VA-to-PICA stent placement. We suggest both bypass surgery and VA-to-PICA stent placement are good options for PICA revascularization.
