Abstract: Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of a novel self-expanding stent Solitaire ab in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. Methods Twelve patients (13 aneurysms), admitted to our hospital from October 2009 to November 2010, were treated with Solitaire ab stents. Ten patients were treated with stent-assisted coiling, the other 2 with stent placement alone.The clinical data and the treatment efficacy of these patients were analyzed. Results Fourteen stents were successfully deployed in 12 patients (13 aneurysms) with no recycling or re-positioning with a success rate of stent placement of 100%. Coil partly prolapsed into parent artery in 1 patient, and the others had no operation-related complications. Eight patients enjoyed completely filling, 1 near total filling and 3 partly filling. Nine patients got complete recovery, 2 partial recovery; and 1 died of malignant arrhythmia.Conclusion The use of Solitaire ab for the treatment of complex ntracranial aneurysms enjoys a good safety and short-term clinical outcome.
