BACKGROUND: In the treatment of vertebral artery (VA) dissecting @entity439 , only proximal occlusion of the VA does not necessarily prevent rerupture. We evaluated the efficacy of coil trapping for the ruptured VA dissecting @entity439 using the double microcatheters technique. METHODS: We treated 11 @entity1 who presented with @entity510 ( @entity510 ) due to rupture of a VA dissecting @entity439 which did not involve the posterior @entity5487 at the site of dissection. All @entity1 tolerated the balloon occlusion test. Within 3 days of the @entity510 , the dissection site was trapped with a Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) using the double microcatheters technique. The proximal and distal sites of the dissecting @entity439 were embolized simultaneously. FINDINGS: GDC trapping at the affected site was successful in all 11 @entity1 . Radiographic findings showed complete occlusion of the dissection site and patency of the unaffected artery. Although one @entity1 experienced transient @entity1282 , there were no major complications. INTERPRETATION: The double microcatheters technique is effective for coil trapping of ruptured VA dissecting @entity439 in selected @entity1 . The risks posed by this simple technique are minimal, even in the acute stage.
