Preliminary experience with Leo self-expanding stent for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

چکیده
We report initial experience with the use of a new intracranial stent, the Leo microstent in combination with detachable coils in treatment of patients with wide-necked cerebral aneurysms. The Leo stent represents a significant advance in the vascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm with high radial force and an easy delivery system. It is a feasible, secure, and effective system.

The endovascular treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms is evolving. We report our initial experience in treating seven wide-neck intracranial aneurysms by using a new self-expanding stent, the Neuroform, in combination with a new generation of coils that incorporate a self-expandable hydrophilic lining, the HydroCoil.
متن کاملTreatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms with a self-expanding stent system: initial clinical experience.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Currently available stents for intracranial use usually are balloon-expandable coronary stents that carry the risk of damaging a dysplastic segment of the artery, with potential vessel rupture. We assessed the technical feasibility and efficacy of the combined application of a flexible, self-expanding neurovascular stent and detachable coils in the management of wide-neck...
