Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms with Self-Expandable Braided Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The safety and efficacy of treatment with self-expandable braided stents (LEO and LVIS) required further investigation.

Purpose

Our aim was to analyze the outcomes after treatment with braided stents.

Data sources

A systematic search of 3 databases was performed for studies published from 2006 to 2017.

Study selection

According to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we included studies reporting patients treated with LEO or LVIS stents.

Data analysis

Random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool the following: aneurysm occlusion rate, complications, and neurologic outcomes.

Data synthesis

Thirty-five studies evaluating 1426 patients treated with braided stents were included in this meta-analysi
