Abstract:
Objective To explore the technique and the clinical value of Neuroform stents in combination with Guglielmi detachable coil(GDC) to treat wide-necked basilar artery aneurysms.Methods 30 cases with wide-necked basilar artery aneurysms were treated with Neuroform stent combined with GDC.Of 30 wide-necked basilar artery aneurysms,the location of lesions was at basilar tip in 16,basilar trunk in 9 and the beginning of the basilar in 5.Results In 30 cases,total occlusion was achieved in 25 and partial occlusion in 5 patients.The thrombosis within stent occurred in 2 patinets,and remainder of patients recovered well.There were no thromboembolic events in 20 cases followed up for 3~6 months.Twenty-two patients were angiographically followed up for 3 months after the procedure,among them,the aneurysms visualized and the arteriae burdened aneurysms were passed free in densely packed and 3 aneurysms with neck remnant.Conclusion The Neuroform stent is a easy and safe intracranial stent for embo1ization of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms,especially suitable for wide-necked basilar artery aneurysms with severely tortuous intracranial artery.
