====== Telescoping flow diversion stent ======

[[Dissecting aneurysm]] involving the [[posterior inferior cerebellar artery]] ([[PICA]]) are challenging because of its nature and anatomic relationship to medulla and lower [[cranial nerve]]. 

Shin et al. introduced a case of ruptured dissecting aneurysm located at the proximal PICA treated with [[telescoping stent]]s for [[flow diversion]] and dissection healing. A 49 years old female visited to the [[emergency room]] for ruptured dissecting aneurysm at right proximal PICA. Telescoping stent was deployed along the right vertebral artery to PICA covering the dissecting aneurysm bleb using two Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support Jr ([[LVIS Jr]]) stents. Three months follow up [[angiography]] revealed a disappearance of aneurysm bleb and healing of dissection by parent artery remodeling. Telescoping stent with LVIS Jr may be an effective treatment for dissecting aneurysm with small diameter (<2 mm) parent artery. Convenient [[navigation]] and targeted telescoping stent for minimizing metal coverage at perforating arteries are an advantage for this method
