Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:FD stent placement is a promising therapy for challenging intracranial aneurysms. Long-term evaluations about angiographic and morphologic results are still missing. This is the aim of this multicenter series.MATERIALS AND METHODS:We report our experience and 1-year FU in a retrospective chart review of 65 consecutive subjects with 77 unruptured or recanalized aneurysms that were treated with Silk FD stents at 6 centers in France. Both angiographic and clinical results were recorded before treatment and at 6 and 12 months after treatment. At the 12-month FU, relationships between angiographic aneurysm occlusion and shrinkage of the thrombosed aneurysm sac were evaluated.RESULTS:Stent deployment was achieved in 64 cases (98.5%) and failed in 1 case (1.5%). Seven misdeployments of the Silk stent caused the occlusion of 6 parent arteries. Overall acute/subacute procedural morbidity was 7.7%, and mortality was zero. Delayed complications were observed in 10.9% of subjects. At the 6-month FU, permanent morbidity was 7.8% and mortality was 3%. Complete occlusion occurred within 6 months in 68% of aneurysms and within 12 months after treatment in 84.5% of aneurysms. At the 12-month FU, in angiographically complete occluded aneurysms, MR imaging/CT analysis showed the complete disappearance of the thrombosed aneurysm in 30% of cases and partial shrinkage in 52%; furthermore, thrombosed aneurysms were stable in 11% of cases and enlarged in 7%.CONCLUSIONS:The Silk stent is an effective tool for the treatment of challenging aneurysms because it allows complete occlusion in most cases 1 year after treatment. Permanent morbidity was 7.8%, and mortality was 3%.
