Objective: To report a case of ruptured anterior cerebral artery dissection treated with stent-assisted coil embolization with overlapping stents.
Case Presentation: A 51-year-old woman developed subarachnoid hemorrhage the day after transient left hemiparesis. Angiography revealed a ruptured anterior cerebral artery dissecting aneurysm. We conducted stent-assisted coil embolization with the overlapping stent technique on the day after the hemorrhage. She recovered steadily without rebleeding. Six months after embolization, no recurrence was found on angiography.
Conclusion: Although an acceptable result was achieved in this case, the safety and efficacy of this procedure are unconfirmed. A larger number of cases should be accumulated.
