- Stent-Assisted Coiling in Endovascular Treatment of 500 Consecutive Cerebral Aneurysms with Long-Term Follow-Up
Five hundred aneurysms treated with a variety of self-expanding stents were clinically assessed and followed angiographically at 6–7 months postprocedure. Thromboembolic phenomena occurred in 21 patients and intraoperative rupture in 4. Initial complete occlusion was achieved in 42.2% progressing to 90.8% at follow-up. Early and late recanalizations were noted in 8% and 2%, respectively.
