1 | Late 30s | VBJ | N | R | 11.6 | IC VA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
2 | Mid-50s | PICA | Y | R | 6.1 | IC VA | Near-Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
3 | Mid-60s | OphthA | Y | L | 6.0 | IC ICA | Near-Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
4 | Mid-40s | PICA | Y | L | 6.3 | IC VA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
5 | Mid-40s | AchA | Y | L | 3.7 | IC ICA | None | N | Practical, however coiling not possible because of wide necked aneurysm; coil did not stay, aborted |
6 | Mid-60s | AcomA | N | R | 5.1 | IC ICA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
7 | Late-50s | OphthA | N | R | 3.6 | IC ICA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
8 | Mid-60s | PICA | N | L | 10 | IC VA | Compl | N | 4.3 Fr DAC in 6 Fr Envoy, could not inject through the guide (suboptimal road map), coiled without DAC |
9 | Mid-80s | PcomA | N | R | 25 | IC ICA | None | Y TempACA occl | DAC successfully positioned in cavernous ICA, failure to navigate siphon with microcatheters for stent deployment (residual aneurysm), temporary ACA occl, successful thrombectomy/thrombolysis, stent assisted coiling procedure aborted, patient remained asymptomatic |
10 | Mid-40s | SCA | Y | R | 6.6 | IC VA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
11 | Mid-50s | AcomA | N | L | 4.5 | IC ICA | None | N | Practical, but coils did not stay within the wide necked aneurysm safely and thus were withdrawn without complication; endovascular procedure aborted; aneurysm was later clipped successfully |
12 | Early 40s | AcomA | Y | R | 4.9 | IC ICA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
13 | Late 40s | OphthA | N | L | 4.0 | IC ICA | Near-Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
14 | Early 70s | ACA | N | L | 3.5 (residual after previous coiling) | IC ICA | Compl | N | Practical and helpful |
