Coiling after treatment with the woven EndoBridge cerebral aneurysm embolization device. A case report

Interv Neuroradiol. 2012 Jun;18(2):208-12. doi: 10.1177/159101991201800214. Epub 2012 Jun 4.

Abstract

Retreatment options after the use of the newly launched Woven EndoBridge cerebral aneurysm embolization device (WEB II) are mostly unknown. Nine months after WEB II implantation, a 55-year-old female patient presented with regrowth of an MCA aneurysm. For the first time, standard balloon-assisted coiling was used to close the regrown aneurysm proximal to the WEB II implant. We report on the feasibility and safety of balloon-assisted coiling after implantation of the WEB II device.
