Endovascular repair of a double-lumen dissecting aneurysm

J Neurointerv Surg. 2014 May;6(4):e29. doi: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2013-010701.rep. Epub 2013 Jun 12.

Abstract

Treating dissections and dissecting aneurysms requires maintenance of flow through the true lumen and exclusion of the false lumen from the circulation. A dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery presented with both a true and false lumen within the aneurysmal sac. Stenting of the true lumen followed by coil embolization of both lumens was performed. Management options and decision-making are discussed for this unique situation.
