Single centre experience of stent-assisted coiling of wide-necked basilar tip aneurysms

CONCLUSION: Our report provides acceptable outcomes in wide-necked basilar termination aneurysms which are very challenging to treat. Aneurysms treated with braided stents had better efficacy outcomes than those with laser-cut stents.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Given the emergent and increasing utility of alternative endovascular techniques such as intrasaccular devices and flow diverters, real-world data are lacking on more conventional approaches such stent-assisted coiling, especially so in the posterior circulation. The associated relatively higher aneurysmal haemorrhagic risk in this location warrants further additional safety and efficacy data for this treatment approach, which this paper provides.PMID:37660365 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20220504
