We report a case of a 64-year-old man with a fusiform right extracranial vertebral artery aneurysm, spanning over half the extra-cranial V2 (foraminal) segment, presenting with recurrent multi-focal posterior circulation embolic ischaemic stroke. The patient was treated with endovascular embolisation of the right vertebral artery to prevent further thrombo-embolic events. Distal and proximal occlusion of the aneurysmal vertebral artery was performed with a micro-vascular plug with partial aneurysm sack embolisation to aid thrombosis and reduce the risk of recanalisation. Two months post procedure MR angiography confirmed successful aneurysm occlusion with no post-procedural complication. The patient returned to his normal independent life. Endovascular treatment with vessel sacrifice is an effective treatment with low morbidity and we believe the MVP device to be a efficacious option in the vertebral artery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
