ABSTRACT
Even after clipping of intracranial aneurysms, patients may experience incomplete occlusion or the future recurrence of their treated aneurysm. This paper presents a distinctive case of a recurrent A1-A2 anterior cerebral artery aneurysm that underwent four interventions over 16 years. The aneurysm was treated with two clippings, subsequent coiling, and flow diversion for definitive treatment. The challenges encountered in managing bifurcation aneurysms are discussed, emphasizing the importance of considering hemodynamic factors, vessel geometry, and recurrence risk factors in treatment decisions. The case highlights the need for closer follow-up of ruptured bifurcation aneurysms due to the higher likelihood of recurrence. The role of flow diverters in reinforcing vessel anatomy and preventing recurrence is also highlighted.
