The Use of Flow Diverter in Ruptured, Dissecting Intracranial Aneurysms of the Posterior Circulation

Acute dissecting aneurysms of the posterior circulation are a rare cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Established endovascular treatment options include parent artery occlusion and stent-assisted coiling, but appear to be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Vessel reconstruction with flow diverters is an alternative treatment option; however, its safety and efficacy in the acute stage remains unclear.
