In 4\/7 patients (57.1%) the aneurysm had ruptured; however, only one was treated in the acute phase. Median size of the largest diameter of the aneurysm was 6.3\u2005mm (IQR 4.2\u20138.8), and 7\/8 aneurysms (87.5%) were treated with a single flow diverter device. Three aneurysms were concurrently coiled. Angiographic complete occlusion was seen in 6\/8 (75%) aneurysms at a median follow-up of 14\u2005months (IQR 7.7\u201320.2). Two patients had periprocedural strokes with transient neurologic deficits. All patients had a good clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score \u22642).
