Abstract
Background and importance: Giant aneurysms can present technical challenges during treatment with flow diversion including inability to access the aneurysm outflow directly. Encircling the aneurysm with a microwire/microcatheter has been well described; however, it can result in a twisted stent because of catheter twisting during the reduction maneuver, which, in turn, could lead to thromboembolic complications.
Case presentation: Here, we describe a novel technique to manage the twist of the flow diverter in a giant internal carotid artery aneurysm using a combination of angioplasty and off-label placement of a balloon-mounted cardiac stent within the flow diverter.
Conclusion: At 1 year, the aneurysm is completely occluded on digital subtraction angiography and MRI, and the patient is neurologically intact.
