Endovascular treatment of A1 segment aneurysms of the anterior cerebral artery

Neurol India. 2010 May-Jun;58(3):446-8. doi: 10.4103/0028-3886.65538.

Abstract

Aneurysms of the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) are rare and challenging to treat. We evaluated our experience of endovascular treatment in 11 patients with A1 segment aneurysms of ACA. Seven aneurysms were treated with coiling; three were treated with stent-assisted coiling and one was treated with balloon-assisted coiling. Endovascular treatments were technically successful and without complication. Follow-up examinations showed complete cure in all 11 patients.
