It was reported that after implantation of a fred stent to treat a recurrent aneurysm of the right middle cerebral artery m1 segment, it was noticed that the distal struts of the stent were not fully apposed to the vessel wall and a small amount of non-occlusive thrombus had formed between the struts and the vessel wall.This thrombus was lysed with intravenous administration of integrilin and better wall apposition of the struts was achieved by performing balloon angioplasty of the fred device.The patient woke up from anesthesia neurologically intact, and remains intact four months after the procedure.
