With the widespread appliance of endovascular techniques, a plethora of options is available in the treatment of extracranial vertebral artery aneurysms. If the vertebral artery can be sacrificed, embolization with coiling, liquid injection, or parent artery exclusion can be done. We hereby present a case of a 74-year-old male patient presenting with an asymptomatic atherosclerotic giant extracranial vertebral artery aneurysm in the V1 segment of the vertebral artery, successfully treated with balloon expandable stent-graft deployment. No neurologic symptoms occurred, and the stent-graft was patent with no signs of endoleak at 24 months follow-up with computed tomography angiography.
