    FIG 1.

    Sample case of the treatment of a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm. A, Selective angiography demonstrates a 5-mm wide neck and 9-mm maximum dome width. B, Deployed 11-mm Neqstent device with a jailed adjacent microcatheter and deployment of the first coil. C, Final angiographic result after detachment of the Neqstent device and complete aneurysm dome coiling. Reduced flow of the right P1 segment. D, Right posterior cerebral artery flow uptake by a large-caliber posterior communicating artery.

    FIG 2.

    Sample case of a treated right MCA aneurysm. A, Working-projection angiogram with a superior M2 branch arising from the aneurysm neck. B, An 11-mm Neqstent device deployed with an adjacent jailed microcatheter and initial deployment of the first coil. C, Final angiographic result after detachment of the final coil and the Neqstent device. D, Compromise of the superior M2 branch due to device encroachment, with thrombus formation and reduced flow. E, Administration of IV aspirin and Integrilin, which reduced the clot volume and improved flow through the M2 branch. This result remained stable on 20- and 30-minute check angiograms. F, A 6-month follow-up FLAIR sequence demonstrates a sizable right-MCA cortical infarct.
