Treatment of an anterior cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to a transsphenoidal surgery using stent-assisted coiling

摘要

Injury of the internal carotid artery (ICA) during transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is a rare but critical complication. There are several reports on endovascular treatment of ICA injury during TSS. With the recent flourishing of extended TSS, injuries to the distal arteries such as the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) are more likely to occur.
