Microembolism after endovascular coiling of unruptured cerebral aneurysms: incidence and risk factors.

CONCLUSIONS The incidence of microembolism after endovascular coiling of UIA was not low. Lesions occurred more frequently in patients with vascular status associated with old age, diabetes, and previous stroke. Aneurysm multiplicity and the type of stent used for treatment also influenced lesion occurrence. PMID: 26381257 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
