Stents Technique for Endovascular Management of Intracranial Aneurysms
Background: Endovascular detachable coil embolization has become an important method in the management of intracranial aneurysms. However, coil embolization alone may fail to treat some wide-neck aneurysms and other complex anatomy configuration. Herein, we report our experience with and outcome of stent techniques of intracranial aneurysms. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility safety and efficacy of stent usages either conventional or flow diverting stents in endovascular management of intracranial aneurysms. Patients and Methods: Between October 2011 to May 2018 a prospective study was done on a series of 17 consecutive patients harboring 17 intracranial aneurysms approached with endovascular therapeutic stent techniques, these 17 aneurysms (5 have history of rupture, 29 % and 12 unruptured, 71%), Angiographic and clinical follow-up was obtained in 17 (100%) patients (mean 21 months, range 0.5 to 84). Results: In late follow-up 16 patient (94%) had favorable outcome and 1 patient (6%) had unfavorable outcome, over all Complete occlusion Grade 0 with stent technique was achieved in 10 patients (59%), Grade I in 3 patients (17%), Grade II in 1 patients (6%), Grade III in 1 patient (6%), Grade IV in 1 patient (6%) and Grade V in 1 patient (6%), intraoperative complication was noted in 3 cases (18%) with favorable outcome. Conclusion: Endovascular stent-assisted coiling was a feasible, effective and relatively safe technique for the treatment of broad neck and complex configuration intracranial aneurysms.
