Method The clinical data of 12 patients with BBA of ICA were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of 12 patients with BBA treated with Willis cover stents, 10 received angiography immediately after stenting, which showed that the aneurysms completely disappeared and parent arteries were free and 2 received angiography immediately after stenting, which showed that the aneurysms had internal leakage,which disappeared after dilation of the balloon with stents.Two patients who developed communicating hydrocephalus received ventriculoperitoneal shunt.One patient died of pulmonary infection.DSA showed that no aneurysms recurred in 10 patients and following-up with telephone showed that the condition was stable in 1 patient 3~6 months after the treatment.
