Popis:	Endovascular treatment of complex intracranial lesions often requires use of two different microcatheters or micro-guidewires. A basilar artery aneurysm was treated with microstent-assisted coiling. During the procedure a microwire severed and the distal platinum portion of the wire was left after unsuccessful attempts to retrieve it. The patient remains asymptomatic. The proximal part of the microwire was analyzed and additional experiments indicate that it may have detached by electrolytic corrosion.
