TI  - Stent-assisted Coil Embolization Using a Transcirculation Technique for Superior 
      Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm: A Report of Two Cases.

AB  - Stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) is useful for treating wide-necked 
      aneurysms. Most superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms have a wide neck, but 
      there are few reports of SCA aneurysms treated with SACE. One reason is that the 
      anatomical characteristic of SCA aneurysm is not suitable for standard SACE. It 
      is often challenging to deliver a stent to SCA via the basilar artery in an 
      anterograde manner. In contrast, it is not difficult to deliver a stent to SCA 
      from the anterior circulation via the posterior communicating artery. This 
      method, in which a catheter is navigated from the anterior to the posterior 
      circulation, is called a transcirculation technique. We report two cases of SCA 
      aneurysm successfully treated with SACE using transcirculation technique. This 
      approach is helpful for wide-necked SCA aneurysms.
