Abstract:
Wide-necked aneurysms, whether they are small or large, have remained a significant challenge for endovascular treatment. Several methods, such as balloon remodeling technique or use of three-dimensional coil, are introduced for this, however, they do not produce satisfactory results. We describe the efficacy and limitations in treating the wide-necked aneurysms with stent-assisted coil embolization technique.
