Coil Embolization through Collateral Pathway for Ruptured Vertebral Artery Dissecting Aneurysm with Bilateral Vertebral Artery Occlusion

Intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (VADA) is a well-known cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Endovascular treatment is now well established as an effective method for treating ruptured VADA, especially in the acute phase of SAH.1,2 Although stent technology has introduced a new strategy in the treatment of VADA, internal trapping of both the affected vertebral artery (VA) and the VADA using detachable coils is still the standard endovascular treatment for the acute phase of ruptured VADAs to prevent re-rupture.
