LEO stent monotherapy for the endovascular reconstruction of fusiform aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the case of a patient with a fusiform aneurysm of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in which endovascular stent placement without coiling was performed. A 3.5-mm x 25-mm LEO self-expanding stent was deployed along the fusiform aneurysm of the horizontal MCA M1 segment. Digital subtraction angiography showed progressive thrombosis at 6 months and complete thrombosis of the fusiform MCA aneurysm at 12 months.

متن کاملMicrosurgical Strategies Following Failed Endovascular Treatment with the Pipeline Embolization Device: Case of a Giant Posterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysm
Treatment of giant posterior circulation aneurysms, via endovascular or microsurgical approaches, carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. While flow-diverting stents (FDSs) represent a potent therapy for endovascular reconstruction of complex aneurysms, they are also associated with novel complications for which effective salvage techniques are lacking. We present a unique complication ...
