Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Dissecting aneurysms of the PCA are difficult to treat with preservation of the parent arteries. We report the clinical and angiographic outcome for 8 patients with dissecting aneurysms located at the P2 segment of the PCA. METHODS: RESULTS: Eight patients with P2 aneurysms of the PCA underwent PVO. Parent vessel occlusions were performed with detachable coils. No patient developed neurologic deficits. CONCLUSION: P2 dissecting aneurysms can be treated with PVO in the cases in which selective embolization of the aneurismal sac with detachable platinum coils or surgical clipping cannot be achieved.
