Flow diverting strategy is now using progressively in many centers due to its preliminary impressive result. Delayed parenchymal hemorrhage is one of known complications. The report of these 4 cases will remind the interventionists for this dreadful possibility. Even though we are not clearly understand the cause of this bleeding, the rate of 8.5% might be reasonable if all risks of the procedure were combined. Dual antiplatelet treatment, manipulation of the guidewires and stents, effect of flow diversion, and post-procedural manipulation of physiology in the ICU should be all taken into account. With a higher case volume, the result of non-side related hemorrhage would be interesting to differentiate the local or systemic effect of the treatment.
