Comparative analysis of Neuroform Atlas and Enterprise 2 stents in stent-assisted coiling for anterior circulation aneurysms: a propensity score-matched study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) is widely used for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Limited studies have compared new generation Neuroform Atlas and Enterprise 2 (EP2) stents. This study compared the two in terms of efficacy, safety, and cost implications.

Methods

Data from 572 patients with anterior circulation aneurysms treated with SAC using either Atlas or EP2 stents were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance patient and aneurysm characteristics between the groups.

Results

The Atlas group had a higher prevalence of male patients, smokers, drinkers, hypertensives, and distal carotid artery aneurysms. The dome-to-neck ratio was larger in the EP2 group. After PSM (147 matched pairs), there were no significant diff
