Case 3

Submitted by: Sidney E. Croul, University of Toronto and Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clinical Summary:

The patient was a 54 year old man with a history of multiple cerebral aneurysms who in the spring of 2009 had a complex multilobated aneurysm in the left carotid circulation successfully treated with interventional coiling. He return in the fall of 2009 and received two interventional pipeline stents as treatment for multiple right sided internal carotid aneurysms. Five days after the procedure, he experienced significant blood loss from the catheterization site, hypotension, and new weakness of his left leg. He was readmitted to hospital and a subsequent CT angiogram documented a new occlusion of his right anterior cerebral artery just distal to the pipeline stents. Workup of the right femoral catheterization site identified an infected pseudoaneurysm which required resection. Despite aggressive therapy, within one week CT angiography revealed both new cerebral aneurysms and intracerebral hemorrhage.
