Modified 'Y-Configured Stents with Waffle Cone Technique' for Broad Neck Basilar Top Aneurysm

Stent assisted coiling on intracranial broad neck aneurysm has been considered as an effective technique and has made the complex aneurysms amenable to coiling. However, stent navigation and application themselves often have the problems especially when the parent vessel angle (entrance between afferent and efferent vessel) is over 90 degrees. We report here a case of a ruptured broad neck basilar top aneurysm that was successfully coiled using two self-expandable stents (Enterprise and Neuroform) placed in a fashion of modified Y-configured stents with waffle cone technique.
