Endovascular Treatment of a Distal C1 Dissecting Aneurysm in a Patient with Double Aortic Arch

Abstract

[...]head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed a complete DAA and a dissecting aneurysm in the distal C1 segment of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) [Figure 1]a-d. [2],[3] Endovascular treatment with lower mortality and high long-term occlusion rate has emerged as a valid alternative to surgical clipping in elderly patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms. During the follow-up period, DSA showed that no recurrence of the aneurysm and no complications were observed, which suggested...
