Treatment pitfalls in recurrent dolichoectatic basilar trunk aneurysm with flow diversion: illustrative case
This case highlights the challenges of managing recurrent dolichoectatic BTAs with flow diversion, the importance of long-term surveillance, and the risk of complications, including hydrocephalus and ischemic events, following intervention. Individualized treatment strategies are essential to mitigate complications and optimize outcomes. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25131.
