It was reported that a fred 27 3.5 x 17/11 was used to treat a pcom aneurysm.The patient had no significant tortuosity distal or proximal to the aneurysm.The distal measurement was 2.8 mm and proximal was 3.5 mm.The aneurysm was first coiled using a headway duo.The microcatheter was removed to insert the headway 27 to deploy a fred 27.The device was deployed at the terminus utilizing an unsheathing method and landed just distal to the ophthalmic artery.Flow through the device was visualized.The physician wanted to observe the contralateral side and strong flow across the acom was visualized, which warranted more observation on the device side.A dsa injection showed that the fred device was occluded at the proximal portion of the device with no flow distal.Intravenous integrilin was administered and flow was reported to be slow after 15 minutes.Strong flow across the acom filled the affected side and the anterior choroidal and pcom filled, but clot was still observed in the fred device.Patient is on integrilin drip and showed signs of weakness on contralateral side.
