A versatile method for treating intracranial wide-neck aneurysms: Catheter-assisted technique of three variations

Successful management of aneurysms of complex morphology depends primarily on adjunct use of balloons or stents. However, these two methods are technically demanding and have higher complication rates. As an alternative to these two techniques, we have used a catheter-assisted technique with a number of cases. It is simple, versatile, and less demanding technically. This technique should be considered as an alternative strategy in cases of wide-necked aneurysms.
