Stent plus balloon-assisted coiling with low-profile braided stents in the treatment of complex wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms pose significant challenges for endovascular treatment. A recent innovation, the stent plus balloon-assisted coiling technique, combines a stent and a balloon to address these aneurysms effectively.

Purpose

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the stent plus balloon-assisted coiling for the treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of our endovascular database to identify patients who were treated with this technique and had a satisfactory angiographic follow-up of at least 24 months. Technical success, initial clinical and angiographic outcomes, procedural complications, and follow-up results were analyzed. Angiographic and clinical outcomes were assessed using Modified
