Abstract

The stabilization of a guiding catheter is one of the important factors for achieving successful endovascular treatments. However, obtaining sufficient stabilization is sometimes difficult due to the tortuousity of the approach route. A goose neck snare is useful not only for the retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies but also for holding a guiding catheter. This report presents a case of parental artery occlusion for a non-ruptured giant thrombosed aneurysm occurring in the right vertebral artery using a goose neck snare to hold a guiding catheter.
