Fig. 1
Coronal reformatted maximum-intensity projection image from CTA demonstrates a 1.1-cm bilobulated, saccular aneurysm (arrowhead) at the tip of the basilar artery (long arrow) with a 2-mm bleb in the superior aspect of the aneurysm. Bilateral posterior cerebral arteries (short arrows) originate from the wide-necked aneurysm at depressed angles.

Fig. 2
Anteroposterior projection of a cerebral angiogram (A) demonstrates normal filling of the basilar and posterior cerebral arteries after deployment of two overlapping Neuroform stents (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, Massachusetts) (arrowheads). This resulted in flow diversion from the aneurysm (long arrow) to the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries by altering their takeoff (short arrows) from the basilar artery. Anteroposterior view of a cerebral angiogram shows subsequent coil embolization (B) of the aneurysm (arrowhead) with normal filling of the basilar (long arrow) and posterior cerebral arteries (short arrows). The appearance of the coils lying over the basilar tip is projectional.

Fig. 3
Lateral views of a cerebral angiogram (A,B) demonstrate successful coil embolization of the basilar tip aneurysm (long arrows). The coil mass is draped over the contour of the stents, allowing for normal filling of the basilar (arrowhead) and posterior cerebral arteries (short arrows).
