The balloon remodeling technique (BRT) was designed for endovascular treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. To date, the balloon catheters available have had a single lumen and suitable guidewires ranging from 0.010 to 0.012 inches. We describe the first case of aneurysm embolization using the BRT with the new double-lumen balloon catheter, Scepter C(®), navigable on a 0.014-inch wire, and discuss the benefit of such a device.
