Willis covered stent in the treatment of a recurrent blood blister-like aneurysm after pipeline implementation: A case report

Abstract

Blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) are fragile and difficult to treat. However, the optimal treatment has yet to be determined. Pipeline embolization devices and Willis covered stent implementation are still controversial strategies for treating BBA. Herein, we report a case of recurrent BBA successfully treated with a Willis covered stent. A long-term follow-up angiography after the procedure indicated complete occlusion of the aneurysm. This case demonstrates the safety and efficacy of applying the Wills cover stent in the treatment of recurrent BBA after Pipeline implantation.
