Imaging studies of another case of staged remote proximal parent artery occlusion (RPO) and high-flow radial artery graft bypass from the extracranial VA to the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content, second case). A 52-yr-old woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by rupture of a giant fusiform and dolichoectatic aneurysm of the basilar trunk (BT-GFDA). A, MR image taken 5 mo prior demonstrated a mid-basilar partially thrombosed giant fusiform aneurysm with small intramural hemorrhage. B, Computed tomography (CT) at admission demonstrated SAH with hematoma in the fourth ventricle. C, Cerebral angiogram showed a mid-basilar, partially thrombosed giant dolichoectatic aneurysm. D, Postoperative angiogram showed disappearance of the BT-GFDA and patent extracranial VA to PCA bypass. E, Postoperative T2-weighted MR image showed complete thrombosis of the aneurysm with slight pontine ischemia. F, Follow-up MR image 1 yr after the treatment revealed successful aneurysm thrombosis and shrinkage. She recovered well and no rebleeding occurred during the 180-mo follow-up period.
