ABSTRACT
Retreatment options after the use of the newly launched Woven EndoBridge cerebral aneurysm embolization device (WEB II) are mostly unknown. Nine months after WEB II implantation, a 55-year-old female patient presented with regrowth of an MCA aneurysm. For the first time, standard balloon-assisted coiling was used to close the regrown aneurysm proximal to the WEB II implant. We report on the feasibility and safety of balloon-assisted coiling after implantation of the WEB II device.
