Excerpt
Flow Diverter Devices (FDD) are important tools for treating intracranial aneurysms [
1‐
3]. Preliminary results suggest a favorable outcome, but there is not negligible risk of early and delayed rupture, especially for large and giant aneurysms [
4,
6‐
11]. This complication significantly limits the efficacy of this technique. Several recent studies [
7,
8] recommend use of coils in addition to the FDD to prevent delayed aneurysm rupture. We present a case of early fatal hemorrhage (< 24 h) after endovascular treatment of a giant supraclinoid carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm treated with FDD and coils. …
