Neuroform-EZ Stent Modification for Facilitated Delivery during Intracranial Aneurysm Embosurgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Neuroform EZ Stent System is a fourth generation intracranial aneurysm stent that utilizes an integrated navigation guidewire. While designed to facilitate stent delivery, the guidewire can rarely impede proper positioning of the stent. In this technical case report, severing the guidewire from the stent delivery system with surgical scissors was required for successful stent implantation.

Initial Experience with Neuroform EZ in the Treatment of Wide-neck Cerebral Aneurysms
PURPOSE Stent-assisted coiling allows embolization and parent vessel reconstruction of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. The Neuroform EZ (Boston Scientific, Fremont, CA, U.S.A.) stent delivery system offers deployment of a Neuroform stent with fewer steps and improved operator control. Initial experience, technical considerations, and treatment outcomes using the Neuroform EZ stent delivery ...
متن کاملJailing Technique Using a Catheter-based Open-cell Stent System in Internal Carotid Artery Sidewall Aneurysms Unfeasible to Simple Coiling
OBJECTIVE An open cell stent system may offer better apposition of cell struts to vessel wall than a closed cell stent system in acute vasculature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of coiling using the jailing technique with the Neuroform EZ stent system. METHODS The jailing technique using the open-cell stent system of the Neuroform EZ stent was planned in 22 consecu...
متن کاملMR safety and imaging of neuroform stents at 3T.
The Neuroform stent is a self-expanding nitinol stent designed for use in wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Heating and imaging artifacts were evaluated by using a porcine carotid artery aneurysm model in a 3T MR system. A suspended Neuroform stent was tested for deflection. No heating was measured, and no evidence of deflection of the stent was found. Imaging artifacts were minimal. MR imagi...
متن کاملIn-stent stenosis as a delayed complication of neuroform stent-supported coil embolization of an incidental carotid terminus aneurysm.
The Neuroform stent is the first microcatheter-delivered stent designed specifically for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. The stent functions primarily to provide durable parent vessel protection during the embolization of broad-necked cerebral aneurysms. The present case report demonstrates in-stent stenosis occurring as a delayed complication of Neuroform stent-supported coil embolization...
متن کاملStent-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms: predictors of complications, recanalization, and outcome in 508 cases.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Self-expanding stents are increasingly used for treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. We assess the safety and the efficacy of intracranial stenting and determine predictors of treatment outcomes. METHODS A total of 508 patients with 552 aneurysms were treated with Neuroform and Enterprise stents between 2006 and 2011 at our institution. A multivariate analysis w...
