Segment Occlusion vs. Reconstruction-A Single Center Experience With Endovascular Strategies for Ruptured Vertebrobasilar Dissecting Aneurysms.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Ruptured dissecting aneurysms of the intracranial vertebral arteries exhibit an extraordinarily high risk for morbidity and mortality and are prone to re-rupture. Therefore, early treatment is mandatory to induce stagnation of the critical dynamic mural process. Appropriate endovascular approaches are segment sacrifice and reconstruction, however, both carry specific risks and benefits. To date most studies discuss only one of these approaches and focus on one specific device or technique. Therefore, our study aimed to present our experiences with both techniques, providing a considered approach on when to perform endovascular reconstruction or sacrifice. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage in our database, suffering from diss
