Endovascular treatment of vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms with low-profile visualized intraluminal support device.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) device is a self-expanding, nitinol, single-braid, closed-cell device that was recently developed for endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms. However, current knowledge regarding the use of LVIS devices to treat vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms is limited. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of the LVIS device for treating vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms.

Methods

Between January 2015 and December 2017, patients with vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms treated using LVIS stents were enrolled in this study. We analyzed patients' demographic, clinical and aneurysmal characteristics, procedural details, complications, and angiographic and clinical follow-up resul
