Abstract

A ruptured blister-like aneurysm was found on the anterior communicating artery (AcomA) of a patient who presented with an intense headache which had started 3 days ago. The patient was found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and remained in the ICU without complications. Twelve days after the hemorrhage, dual antiplatelet medication was initiated. Two days later, a low-profile flow diverter device (FRED Jr., MicroVention) was successfully implanted. This case illustrates the benefits of using endovascular reconstructive techniques on the vessel when intrasaccular occlusion of the aneurysm is not technically feasible. Once an aneurysm has been completely occluded by an extrasaccular flow-diverting device, recurrence of this aneurysm is very unlikely. We will also discuss the possibility of starting dual antiplatelet medication in the acute phase after SAH. Flow diversion in the acute phase after SAH is the main topic of this chapter.
