Abstract

|
| We reviewed the selective endosaccular coiling of eight consecutive patients with saccular basilar trunk aneurysms, seven after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). All aneurysms could be coiled in a mean procedure time of 61 min. There were no procedure-related complications, but one patient died of vasospasm following the SAH. The remaining seven had a good outcome, and five of seven aneurysms were completely occluded with a stable result on follow-up angiography. Compaction of the coils occurred in one very large aneurysm necessitating additional coiling. One patient with a giant, partially thrombosed aneurysm was coiled four times in a 3-year period to obtain a satisfactory anatomical result. |
