Treating vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms by clipping is usually challenging; therefore, endovascular coil embolization has been widely used for these aneurysms ¹⁾. To improve the efficacy of endovascular treatment, intracranial stent was introduced to reduce recurrence rates by the mechanical barrier, flow diversion, and biological effects Basilar artery aneurysm coiling is a safer and less invasive alternative to open surgery for basilar artery aneurysm treatment. It has a lower risk of complications and a shorter recovery time. However, not all aneurysms can be treated with coiling.

For surgery consider delayed surgery.

LVIS device for vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms may be an acceptable safety profile and may represent a reasonable treatment option in the short term. Long-term and larger cohort studies are necessary ²⁾.

Tools and techniques utilized in endovascular brain aneurysm treatment have undergone rapid evolution in recent decades. These techniques and device-level innovations have allowed for the treatment of highly complex intracranial aneurysms and improved patient outcomes ³⁾.
