Balloon embolization was performed utilizing two detachable silicone balloons to occlude the mid-basilar artery and the aneurysm. The procedure was carried out with the patient fully awake and alert. One day after the procedure, the patient developed pontine and cerebellar ischemia which completely resolved after 5 days on heparin therapy. A follow-up angiogram performed immediately after the procedure and at 3 months demonstrated complete occlusion of the mid-basilar artery and the aneurysm. The patient was intact neurologically upon discharge 5 days after the embolization procedure and has since resumed his normal activities. Balloon embolization therapy may offer some advantages over surgical methods for the treatment of such therapeutically challenging aneurysms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1987.66.1.0124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,8]],"date-time":"2009-05-08T16:17:54Z","timestamp":1241799474000},"page":"124-127","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Intravascular balloon embolization of a large mid-basilar artery aneurysm"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Grant B.","family":"Hieshima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Randall T.","family":"Higashida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Wapenski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Van V.","family":"Halbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John R.","family":"Bentson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Brain","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"535","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/92.3.535","article-title":"Massive aneurysms at the base of the brain.","volume":"92","author":"Bull","year":"1969"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1975.43.3.0255","article-title":"Ligation of the vertebral (unilateral or bilateral) or basilar artery in the treatment of large intracranial aneurysms.","volume":"43","author":"Drake","year":"1975"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Radiology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.138.1.7455087","article-title":"A detachable balloon for therapeutic transcatheter occlusions.","volume":"138","author":"Hieshima","year":"1981"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198308000-00016","article-title":"Extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass and basilar artery ligation in the treatment of giant basilar artery aneurysms.","volume":"13","author":"Hopkins","year":"1983"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Neurological Surgery","first-page":"1715","article-title":"Management of aneurysms of posterior circulation","volume":"3","author":"Peerless","year":"1982"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1974.41.2.0125","article-title":"Balloon catheterization and occlusion of major cerebral vessels.","volume":"41","author":"Serbinenko","year":"1974"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"Surg Neurol","first-page":"140","article-title":"Radiopaque solidifying liquids for releasable balloon technique: a technical note.","volume":"13","author":"Taki","year":"1980"}],"container-title":["Journal of Neurosurgery"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/view\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/66\/1\/article-p124.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/66\/1\/article-p124.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/66\/1\/article-p124.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,24]],"date-time":"2022-07-24T17:07:17Z","timestamp":1658682437000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/thejns.org\/view\/journals\/j-neurosurg\/66\/1\/article-p124.xml"}},"subtitle":["Case report"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1987,1]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3171\/jns.1987.66.1.0124","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-3085"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-3085","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1987,1]]}}}
