Surpass Evolve flow diverter in the treatment for complex wide neck ruptured internal carotid artery aneurysm: technical report of two cases with brief literature review

Abstract

Abstract Background Treatment of complex wide neck internal carotid aneurysm is technically difficult with both surgical as well as endovascular therapy. In this study, we work with flow diverter device to construct vascular lumen which diverts the blood flow from aneurysm sac. Case presentation We report on two patients with two complex wide neck ruptured aneurysms located in the internal carotid artery associated with two small aneurysms who presented with severe headache and vomiting. All aneurysms were treated with single Surpass Evolve flow diverter (SE-FD) placement. Post-procedural clinical and angiographic outcomes were evaluated Conclusion This study shows that Surpass Evolve flow diverter is safe and validity for management of complex wide neck internal carotid artery aneurysm and able to terminate all blister aneurysms associated with the parent artery.
