As reported through the article titled, "endovascular treatment of small and very small intracranial aneurysms with a web device," post successful intracranial aneurysm treatment with either a sl 3 or a sl 3.5 web device (dates unknown), 4 patients were reported to have developed thromboembolic complications, of which 3 were intraoperative thromboembolism.Of those 3, complete recanization was achieved during the final angiography in 2 patients after intra-arterial abciximab injection.In the third case, owing to the excellent leptomeningeal collateral circulation, it was decided not to perform any endovascular treatment and no deficit was observed after the intervention.
