Background: Endovascular treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms remains challenging. Although the advent of PulseRider and Web has expanded treatment options, aneurysms with a large deviation from the parent artery axis remains difficult to treat. We present the case of a wide-necked bifurcation aneurysm that was misaligned with the angle between the long axis of the parent artery and the aneurysm and was successfully treated with Y-shaped PulseRider-assisted coil embolization. Case Description: A 64-year-old woman presented with an unruptured basilar tip aneurysm. Cerebral angiography showed a wide-necked aneurysm measuring 8.1 mm × 6.1 mm, neck 5.7 mm. The aneurysm was strongly tilted to the right and posterior relative to the basilar artery, and the bilateral posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and superior cerebellar artery (SCA) diverged from the aneurysm body. PulseRider-assisted coil embolization was performed. A Y-shaped PulseRider was selected to be placed in a hybrid fashion with the right arch in the aneurysm and the left arch in the branch. Adequate coil embolization with preservation of the bilateral PCA and SCA was possible, and cerebral angiography immediately after the treatment showed slight dome filling. Cerebral angiography 6 months after the procedure showed that the embolic status had improved to complete occlusion. Conclusion: For wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms with a misaligned axis, a Y-shaped PulseRider used in a hybrid fashion, in which the leaflet on the side with the tilted axis is placed in the aneurysm, allows the PulseRider to be deployed more closely to the aneurysm, thereby enabling good coil embolization.
