In the case 2, the patient presented with left hemiparesis and dysphasia. His brain stem was compressed by a large partially thrombosed vertebral artery aneurysm. (A–C) Overlapping stents with double low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) were placed (3.5 × 22 mm, 4.5 × 32 mm). The first stent was shortened when a micro catheter was advanced to the distal end of the vertebral artery, but it covered the aneurysm orifice. (D) After 2 weeks, the follow-up angiography showed that the aneurysm was closed off. (E,F) No recanalization has been seen for 2 years.
