Abstract
Treatment of cerebral aneurysms, in particular giant aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar system, has been changed since Serbinenko [6] and 1 year later Debrun [1] introduced detachable balloons for aneurysm occlusion. The endovascular approach has been advanced additionally by the development of a thermoplastic microcatheter with double lumen and progressive suppleness [3]. In giant aneurysms, balloon occlusion has been combined with occlusive coils, allowing the number of balloons for packing the lumen to be reduced [2, 4, 7].
