title: [Treatment of posterior-communicating wide-necked aneurysms with endovascular stent and Guglielmi detachable coils].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize our clinical experience in treating posterior-communicating wide-necked aneurysms using endovascular stent and Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs).
  
  
  METHODS
  The coronary stents were implanted across the neck of 32 posterior-communication wide-necked aneurysms. Microcatheters were introduced into the aneurysm sac through stent mesh, GDCs were used to embolize aneurysms.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All operations were successful. Total occlusion was achieved in 26 patients, over 90% in 4, 60 - 70% in 2. The patients were perfectly recovered with patency of the parent arteries.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular therapy combined with stent implatation and GDC placement is a valid approach to the treatment of posterior-communication wide-necked aneurysms.
