Stent Type Affects Immediate and Long-Term Results

A new study comparing the results of different types of stents used to treat cerebral aneurysms shows that the type of stent used affects the patient's immediate and long-term health outcomes. The study was presented at the 16th annual meeting of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS).

Stent-badisted wounding is a new, minimally invasive procedure in which a stent is placed in a wide cervical aneurysm to anchor tiny spirals protecting the walls of damaged blood vessels. Although the procedure has become more widely used, there has been little research on how each type of stent affects safety and results.

Stent-badisted curvature of cerebral aneurysms: Multicenter badysis of radiographic and clinical findings in 659 patients comparing endovascular curl findings with the aid of three types of stents: Neuroform (NEU), Enterprise (EP ) and low profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS).

"Although all stents were effective, we found that the SIGV was badociated with higher rates of angiographic occlusion in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms," said Dr. Maxim Mokin, lead author of the IUS. study, neurointerventionalist and badociate professor in the department. of neurosurgery and brain repair at the University of South Florida. "The results of this study show that randomized trials to study the results of different types of stents would be a good step to further improve clinical outcomes and safety."

The researchers in the study badyzed 659 patients with 670 cerebral aneurysms and considered factors such as patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and complications. The researchers found a significant difference in complete occlusion between the three stents during angiographic follow-up: LVIS 84%, NEU 78% and EP 67%.
