TI  - Y-configured double stent-assisted coil embolization with double microcatheter 
      technique for complex basilar bifurcation aneurysm.
PG  - 69-73
AB  - Y-configured double stent technique is useful for coil embolization of a 
      bifurcation wide neck aneurysm while preserving the patency of the two important 
      vessels. However, if the important vessels emanating directly from the aneurysm 
      comprised four vessels, two vessels not deployed, Y-stents might not be preserved 
      with the Y-stent technique by itself. We report a case treated with Y-configured 
      double stent-assisted coil embolization with a double microcatheter technique for 
      complex basilar bifurcation aneurysm. A 78-year-old woman presented with a 
      subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) of poor grade. CT-angiography showed a wide neck 
      and shallow aneurysm of complex basilar bifurcation involving both posterior 
      cerebral arteries (PCAs) and superior cerebellar arteries (SCAs). In the chronic 
      stage of SAH, Y-configured double stent-assisted coil embolization with a double 
      microcatheter technique was performed. After Y-stent (two Enterprise) deployment 
      from both the PCAs to the basilar artery, coil embolization of a basilar 
      bifurcation aneurysm was performed using a double microcatheter technique to 
      preserve both SCAs.
