E-027 Managing unruptured cerebral aneurysms detected during mechanical thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke: considerations for treatment decisions

ConclusionAneurysm rupture during mechanical thrombectomy is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Although rare, spontaneous aneurysm thrombosis is a potential mechanism of stroke and can carry an increased risk of aneurysmal rupture. Mechanisms of procedural rupture include stentriever or wire manipulation in an occult aneurysm and tractional forces in areas of aneurysm adhesion. Aspiration alone and the use of J shaped wires are technical considerations that can potentially decreased the possibility of aneurysm rupture in mechanical thrombectomy.Disclosures Y.
