Default Unruptured 3mm Annie - PICA

Hello,
I've been reading different threads since I was diagnosed with my annie 2 weeks ago. After having an MRI/MRA for headaches, a small 3 mm annie was discovered in my left PICA (posterior inferior cerebellar artery). Then, because it was so small and a possible mistake, I had an angiogram and CT scan with contrast. The new tests confirmed it, so I'm meeting with an interventionist (?) next week to see if coiling is a possibility. Has anyone out there had an unruptured small aneurysm coiled?
I have NO family history of this, I am 30 years old, and I just started blood pressure meds after I found out about the annie. I guess that I should also mention that I was diagnosed with PKD (polycystic kidney disease) in October - a hereditary kidney disease in which cysts form on the kidneys eventually impeding kidney function. The only two major side effects of PKD are high blood pressure (got it) and aneurysms if you have a family history.
I guess, I'm just wondering if people have success treating small aneurysms...especially in the PICA.
Thanks for any information or comments.
