a The angiography of patient 4 showed a small aneurysm located at one of the lenticulostriate arteries. b We used small coils to embolize the aneurysm and planted a stent on the RM1. When the stent is adjacent to the aneurysm, we pushed it gently ensure the blood supply of the lenticulostriate artery. Postoperative angiography showed satisfactory embolization of the aneurysm and perfect preservation of the lenticulostriate artery (yellow arrow). c Follow-up angiography after 9 months showed no aneurysmal recurrence and perfect preservation of the lenticulostriate artery (yellow arrow)
