Stent-assisted coiling of ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.
This study aimed to report the results and outcome of stent-assisted coiling of ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. We retrospectively reviewed 19 consecutive patients (11 men, eight women; mean age, 59.5 years; range, 43-78 years) with acutely ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms who were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. The mean length of angiographic follow-up was 5.2 months (range, 3-10 months). There was no technique-related complication and the 30-day mortality rate was 10.5% (two of 19). There was one case of rebleeding, and clinical outcome was poor for the patient (5.3% [one of 19] who had a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 2 at the end of the study period). Stent-assisted coiling is a feasible treatment for ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms that are difficult to treat surgically or with balloon-assisted embolization.
