Sample case. A, A 61-year-old woman developed subarachnoid hemorrhage (Hunt and Hess scale, grade 4) secondary to a ruptured left PICA aneurysm. Four Cerecyte coils (28.5-cm total length; packing attenuation, 50%) were placed in the aneurysm. B, On immediate postprocedural control angiography, the arrow indicates a small area of contrast filling at the base of the aneurysm. C, This area of contrast filling is no longer visualized at 6-month follow-up (arrow), and the PICA remains patent.

Sample case. A and B, 3D reconstructive rotational angiograms reveal a ruptured PcomA in a 60-year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage (Hunt and Hess scale, grade 3). A bleb is seen at the inferior aspect of the aneurysm (arrow, A), and a shoulder is visualized at the superior portion (arrow, B ). Coil embolization is performed by using a combination of bare platinum and Cerecyte coils (50% Cerecyte; packing attenuation, 21%). C and D, Immediate postcoiling control angiograms demonstrate residual filling of the bleb (arrow, C ) and shoulder (arrow, D). E and F, Six-month follow-up angiograms demonstrate complete aneurysm occlusion with obliteration of both the bleb (arrow, E) and the shoulder (arrow, F).
