BackgroundBlood blister–like aneurysms (BBAs) are rare but dangerous and challenging to treat. Recurrence and rebleeding are often reported, and many neurosurgeons and interventional radiologists are discouraged by such poor outcomes. Currently, there is no standard method to treat this type of aneurysm.Case DescriptionWe describe 5 cases of ruptured BBAs in the supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid artery, which were treated successfully using a suturing technique. No patient experienced recurrence or rebleeding, and all patients had a good prognosis.ConclusionsWe conclude that this suturing technique is an optional safe and reliable method to treat BBAs.
