Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To treat a 13-year-old boy with a spontaneous vertebrobasilar artery dissecting aneurysm in the extracranial artery, which was only 1 mm away from the initial segment of subclavian artery. METHODS: A covered stent was inserted to block the artery of the vertebrobasilar artery dissecting aneurysm. RESULTS: The vertebrobasilar artery dissecting aneurysm was successfully treated without complications. CONCLUSIONS: The procedure is a fast, reliable, effective, and economical technique, particularly suitable for surgeries in settings with limited resources.
