Abstract
- We report three cases of a novel balloon remodelling technique across the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) through simultaneous bilateral internal carotid angiography. In all three cases, simultaneous bilateral carotid angiography for balloon-assisted coil embolisation of anterior communicating artery aneurysms (ACoAA) provided improved anatomical detail and resulted in effective and safe procedures compared to typical unilateral angiography.
