Vertebral artery pseudoaneurysms secondary to blunt trauma: Endovascular management by means of neurostents and flow diverters

Highlights • Traumatic cervical vertebral artery (VA) pseudoaneurysms pose a risk of stroke or enlargement. • Endovascular arterial reconstruction of the VA is feasible and effective. • Neurostents and flow-diverters effectively preserved parent vessel patency. • Reconstructive techniques are prefer...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • Traumatic cervical vertebral artery (VA) pseudoaneurysms pose a risk of stroke or enlargement. • Endovascular arterial reconstruction of the VA is feasible and effective. • Neurostents and flow-diverters effectively preserved parent vessel patency. • Reconstructive techniques are preferred to endovascular occlusion. • There were no periprocedural or delayed complications.
