A 46-year-old patient (Case 1) presented with a 2-month history of dizziness. Preoperative angiography showed a large fusiform vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm (A). This patient underwent placement of two telescoping Tubridge devices (the arrow and the arrowhead), along with coiling and right vertebral artery sacrifice (B,C). Follow-up angiography 12 months later showed complete aneurysm occlusion (D).

Most (87.5%) aneurysms were treated by single FD placement using 11 Tubridge and three Pipeline devices, while the remaining two cases were treated with two Tubridge devices, one of which was treated with an overlapping technique and the other telescoping (Figure 1).
A 56-year-old male patient (Case 10) with a large basilar trunk aneurysm presented with dizziness. Preoperative angiography (A) with 3-dimensional reconstruction (B) demonstrated an irregular dissecting aneurysm at the middle basilar trunk. A single Tubridge device was placed in the basilar trunk (C). 10-month follow-up angiography demonstrated complete obliteration of the aneurysm (D).
