A Patient with a Ruptured Blood Blister-like Aneurysm of the Internal Carotid Artery in Whom Two LVIS Stents Were Inserted

OBJECTIVE: We report a case in which multiple overlapping low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) stents were used as monotherapy for ruptured blood blister-like aneurysm (BBA) of the internal carotid artery (ICA). CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old female presented to the emergency room wi...

Sumario:OBJECTIVE: We report a case in which multiple overlapping low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) stents were used as monotherapy for ruptured blood blister-like aneurysm (BBA) of the internal carotid artery (ICA). CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old female presented to the emergency room with acute-onset headache. She was alert without neurological deficit with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) Hunt and Kosnik grade I. Emergency angiography revealed a BBA from the supraclinoid ICA. This aneurysm had a small diameter, which makes coil embolization difficult. Therefore, we planned to use multiple overlapping LVIS stents as monotherapy for the ruptured aneurysm. The postoperative course was uneventful without rebleeding. The patient exhibited no neurological deficits on the clinical follow-up at 1 year. CONCLUSION: Multiple overlapping LVIS stents as monotherapy is useful for ruptured BBAs of the ICA.
