ABSTRACT
Artery dissection during embolization of an intracranial aneurysm is not a frequent complication. In most cases, the tactics of treatment are limited to the appointment of anticoagulants or balloon angioplasty. We present a clinical case of successful treatment of a woman of 47 years. Dissection of the internal carotid artery occurred during aneurysm embolization in the acute period of subarachnoid hemorrhage and required coronary stent implantation. The absence in the long-term period of signs of restenosis or mechanical damage to the coronary stent in the installed position indicates the possibility of implanting it in the indicated position in urgent situations. The clinical significance of the described case consists in combining sequentially rarely occurring events one after another.
ABSTRACT
The presence of ipsilateral aneurysm in the stenosis of the internal carotid artery is determined by computed tomography angiography in 1.8%-3.2% of cases. The literature describes the most varied options for treating this pathology: isolated or alternate, and now the method of simultaneous endovascular treatment - carotid stenting and endovascular embolization of aneurysm - is gaining popularity. We presented a clinical case of treatment of 61 women with critical stenosis (90%) and tortuosity of the internal carotid artery in combination with ipsilateral saccular aneurysm of the anterior connecting artery. The uniqueness of this case lies in the fact that a hybrid approach has been applied in the treatment of pathology, not previously described in the literature. The case is highlighting the potential complexity of concomitant vascular cervical and cerebral pathology and the necessity of surgical and endovascular team interactions to choose the appropriate methods of treatment.
