Abstract:
BACKGROUNDSeveral difficulties can arise from wide-neck cerebral aneurysms when treated with endovascular embolization. We aimed to investigate the effect of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using coil embolization plus an Enterprise stent.
METHODSForty patients were treated with coil embolization plus an Enterprise stent between December 2008 and June 2010.
RESULTSThe mortality of patients was 0. All stents were successfully implanted without any surgery-related complication.
CONCLUSIONThe Enterprise stent has some advantages to be selected.
