Endovascular management of recurrent anterior communicating aneurysm previously embolized. Case presentation

Abstract

Although endovascular coiling treatment has been widely accepted as the method of choice for intracranial aneurysms, concerns about its durability are still discussed. Attention was largely focused on aneurysm recurrence after coil occlusion with possible unfavourable evolution to a new bleeding episode. We present our experience of a patient with a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm previously treated by endovascular coil embolization that presented over a 4-year period for aneurysm recurrence.
