"Y" and "X" stent-assisted coiling of complex and wide-neck intracranial bifurcation aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Stent-assisted coiling with two stents has been described in some series for the treatment of complex and wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. Our aim was to report our experience of a stent-assisted coiling technique with double stents in "Y" and "X" configurations, with emphasis on safety, feasibility, and efficacy.

Materials and methods

Clinical and angiographic outcomes of patients for whom the strategic therapeutic option was the stent-assisted coiling technique in a Y or X configuration for neck scaffolding from June 2006 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

One hundred five aneurysms in 97 patients were treated during 100 consecutive procedures. There were 54.2% (57/105) MCA, 28.6% (30/105) anterior communicating artery, 16.2%
