Ballonafsluiting van de A. carotis interna bij de behandeling van inoperabele aneurysmata

– Three patients, women of 46, 63 and 47 years old, with a large or giant aneurysm of the internal carotid artery were treated by endovascular balloon occlusion of the internal carotid artery. In all three patients the aneurysm thrombosed completely. One patient became hemiplegic 12 days after carotid occlusion owing to hypoperfusion infarction.
