====== Posterior communicating artery aneurysm recurrence ======

Seven of eight aneurysms (87.5%) were ruptured. [[Stent-assisted coiling]] was used in one case that a [[stent]] was deployed via PCoA-ipsilateral P2 segment. The dual-microcatheter technique was used in one case. The remaining six cases were treated by [[coil]]ing alone. One patient (12.5%) suffered perioperative complication, of which a coil herniated into parent vessel during the procedure without symptomatic stroke or other adverse event after the procedure. The initial [[embolization]] results showed complete occlusion in five cases and residual neck in three. Six patients (75%) had a mean of 15-month angiographic follow-up and two of them revealed [[recurrence]] (33.3%)

[[Dome]] size, [[aneurysm neck]] width, aneurysm volume, and Pcom diameter were associated with recurrence after coil embolization for IC-PC ANs. In particular, Pcom diameter could be an independent risk factor for recurrence

Lee et al. from the [[Chuncheon Army Hospital]] and [[St. Mary's Hospital]] in [[Seoul]], demonstrated that [[fetal posterior cerebral artery]] may be an independent risk factor for the recurrence of [[posterior communicating artery aneurysm]]s. Therefore, fetal-type posterior cerebral artery can be considered as an important risk factor for [[posterior communicating artery aneurysm recurrence]]s, along with other known risk factors such as size, ruptured status, endovascular treatment, and incomplete occlusion

In 2010 Golshani et al. from the Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, [[Duke University Medical Center]], [[Durham]]  published that coiled [[posterior communicating artery aneurysm]]s have a particularly high risk of [[recurrence]] and must be followed closely. Posterior communicating artery aneurysms with an elongated [[fundus]], true posterior communicating artery aneurysms, and aneurysms associated with a [[fetal posterior communicating artery]] may have better outcome with surgical clipping in terms of completeness of occlusion and preservation of the posterior communicating artery. However, as endovascular technology improves, endovascular treatment of posterior communicating artery aneurysms may become equivalent or preferable in the near future
