Popis: Background: Several endovascular techniques and devices are presently available for the non-surgical treatment of basilar-tip aneurysms in dedicated neurovascular departments. However, the revolving drawback to treatment to angiographic approach remains the long-term coil-mass durability and less patent published results regarding treatment outcome and long-term efficacy. We aim to share our experience of selected endovascular techniques for treating basilar-tip aneurysms and its long-term clinical and angiographic outcome. Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 109 patients basilar-tip aneurysm who had endovascular treatment in our department from 2003 to 2014. Three groups were based on treatment method: single microcatheter (SM), multiple microcatheters (MM), and stent-assisted (SA) coiling techniques. All procedural-related complications and outcomes were followed and analyzed. Angiographic follow-up with accompanying skull-series review were evaluated from initial coil-mass occlusion time to the last follow-up outpatient attendance. Results: In our study, sac size (p 11 mm (p 4 mm (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Small aneurysms particularly those with a small-neck size can be treated with SM or MM approach. Medium-large sized aneurysm can be treated effectively by combined MM and SA techniques.
