Abstract

The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device was approved by the U.S. FDA for its excellent angiographic occlusion of intracranial aneurysms and high safety profile, based on the landmark WEB-IT (WEB Intrasaccular Therapy) trial. There re-mains, however, a few cases of aneurysm recurrence that necessitate retreatment after the initial WEB procedure. In this technical video, the authors present the case of a middle-aged patient who showed significant basilar apex aneurysm recurrence and growth along with device compaction that required retreatment. Various aspects of treating aneurysms with a prior WEB device, including procedural technique, are discussed.
