Complex basilar artery fenestration aneurysm successfully treated with single flow diverter using novel "crossing flow diverter technique" - A rare case report and review of literature. Interv Neuroradiol. 2021 Feb 18;:1591019921996094 Authors: Gaikwad SB, Puneeth KT, Nadarajah J, Gupta MM Abstract Basilar artery fenestration aneurysms are very rare and endovascular management of large and complex aneurysms is extremely challenging. Most of these type of cases are managed with stent assisted coiling, dual flow diverters (FD) and single FD with additional coiling of aneurysm and occlusion of one of the vertebral artery. Here, we report a case of large complex basilar artery fenestration aneurysm successfully treated with single FD using novel technique called "crossing flow diverter technique" without any additional coiling of aneurysm or occlusion of vertebral artery. Using this technique cost of procedure and procedural complexity inherent with other above mentioned techniques can be significantly reduced. PMID: 33601975 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
