Abstract

Objective: The morphological changes of the pipeline embolization device (PED; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA), such as delayed migration or foreshortening, can relate to the incomplete occlusion of aneurysms. Case presentation: A 30-year-old man with a giant cavernous carotid artery aneurysm was treated with two PEDs using the overlapping technique. Six months after treatment, follow-up angiography showed morphological changes of the PEDs and residual flow into the aneurysm. Chronological cone-beam computed tomography fusion imaging clearly revealed the dynamic foreshortening of the first PED and the disconnection of both PEDs, so we decided to implant an additional PED. Conclusion: This case illustrates that a three-dimensional understanding can be useful for assessing the cause of treatment failure or recurrence.
