Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with stents and coils / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective Endovascular stenting or combined stenting and Guglielmi detachable coils packing for the treatment of intracranial fusiform and wide necked aneurysms were reported to access the feasibility of the procedures.Methods The coronary stents were implanted across the neck of 3 vertebral fusiform aneurysms and 6 wide necked aneurysms. Microcatheters were introduced into the aneurysm sacs through stent mesh, and finally GDCs were used to embolize the aneurysms. Results The stents were precisely deployed resulting in total occlusion of 7 cases with more than 90% occlusion in 2 cases. All patients recovered well with patency of the parent arteries.Conclusions Endovascular therapy with combined stent implantation and microcoil placement maybe a valid alteration for the treatment of intracranial fusiform or wide necked aneurysms.
