To the Editor: We read the recent article by Mazur et al1 with great interest; in this article, the authors described the case of a 29-year-old male who presented with a ruptured internal carotid artery blisterlike aneurysm treated with a single Pipeline Flex (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland), complicated by aneurysm rupture postoperatively. This report perfectly exemplifies the challenges faced by vascular neurosurgeons in the treatment of blister aneurysms. Despite tremendous advances in microsurgical and endovascular techniques, blister aneurysms still lack a failsafe treatment option.
