We present a patient with a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm treated under conscious sedation via a right radial approach using the Woven EndoBridge device. We discuss the technical aspects of the case as the well as the available literature on the treatment of ruptured aneurysms treated without general anaesthesia. We discuss the potential benefits of the Woven EndoBridge device in such situations.
