Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Diagnostic cerebral angiography via left vertebral artery shows multiple posterior circulation arteries feeding the tumor. (B) Post-coil embolization shows a total of four tetra coils placed, two in two SCA pedicles and two in PICA pedicles. SCA: superior cerebellar artery; AICA: anterior inferior cerebellar artery; PICA: posterior inferior cerebellar artery
Article Snippet: The patient underwent successful PVA (Contour; Marlborough, MA: Boston Scientific) embolization (255-350 micron PVA particles) and Target Tetra 360 detachable coil embolization of the following amenable pedicles: two right SCA (one 2×6 cm coil for each pedicle) and two right PICA pedicles (one pedicle treated with 2×6 cm coil and the other with 2×4.5 cm coil) [ ].
