Y-stent-assisted coiling with pEGASUS stents for intracranial bifurcation aneurysms: A multi-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: ObjectivesY-stent-assisted coiling (Y-SAC) is an established technique for managing wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms. However, data on the use of the pEGASUS stent, a self-expanding open-cell stent with an antithrombogenic hydrophilic polymer coating, remain limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of Y-SAC with pEGASUS stents in patients with intracranial bifurcation aneurysms.MethodsThis retrospective observational study included patients treated with Y-SAC with pEGASUS stents at six neurovascular centers between July 2021 and June 2024. Data on aneurysm characteristics, procedural details, and clinical outcomes were collected. Aneurysm occlusion was assessed with the modified Raymond-Roy classification (MRRC) at 6 and 12 months. The primary endpoint was c
