Abstract

The endovascular clip system device, eCLIPs (eVasc, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), was introduced almost a decade ago for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms,1–3 which represent a challenge for both endovascular and surgical approaches. Several techniques and devices (intrasaccular or intra-arterial) have been introduced and are currently available in order to improve the technical and clinical outcomes of aneurysm embolization. Flow diversion and flow disruption have shown controversial results in this subtype of aneurysm. In this video we present the use of the eCLIPs device to treat a ruptured, wide-neck aneurysm of the top of the basilar artery. The decisional approach, technical details, and the different steps of the endovascular treatment are described. The final part of the video is dedicated to the characteristics of the device for re-endothelialization4 and flow diversion (video 1).5
