Horizontal stent placement plus coiling in a broad-based basilar-tip aneurysm: an alternative to the Y-stent technique

Introduction Basilar tip aneurysms are the most frequent type of aneurysm in the posterior circulation. Specifically, if wide-necked, they remain a significant therapeutic challenge. On the endovascular side, stents may help to overcome many of these technical challenges. However, if both P1 segments encroach into the aneurysm neck, sometimes stent placement from the middle of the basilar artery to one P1 segment is not enough. Therefore, some groups recommend the use of the so-called Y-stent technique, with one stent passing through the interstices of another stent in a Y-configuration thus remodelling the basilar tip.Methods We describe a patient with a broad-based basilar tip aneurysm and a single, very tortuous vertebral artery which did not allow the use of the vertebrobasilar system as the straight route to the aneurysm. Because of the well-known high surgical risk we decided to navigate the stent through the internal carotid artery and via the posterior communicating artery into the contralateral P1 segment and placed the stent at right angles to the aneurysm from one P1 segment to the contralateral one.Results The outcome in the patients was excellent without any ischemic lesions.Conclusion Horizontal stent placement in wide-necked basilar tip aneurysms may be a therapeutic alternative if the regular route via the vertebral arteries is not feasible.     

Treatment 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-necked intracranial aneurysms in humans. METHODS: Four consecutive patients with a wide-necked intracranial aneurysm were treated with a combined approach that consisted of delivery of a flexible self-expanding neurovascular stent through a microcather to cover the neck of the aneurysm and subsequent filling of the aneurysm with coils through the stent interstices. The aneurysms were located at the internal carotid artery (n=2) and the basilar tip encroaching the P1 segment (n=2). Previous attempts with conventional endosaccular coil packing alone failed in all cases. RESULTS: Stent placement in the desired position with complete or nearly complete occlusion of the aneurysms was feasible in all patients. In one patient, aneurysm perforation with the microcatheter occurred and necessitated ventricular drainage, which led to a large parenchymal and intraventricular hemorrhage because of the strong anticoagulation regimen. Six-month follow-up demonstrated no focal neurologic sequelae in any of the patients, except slight memory dysfunction in the patient with bleeding. CONCLUSION: Preliminary data demonstrate that this extremely flexible stent is technically easy to deploy and can be easily and safely maneuvered through severely tortuous vessels, enabling the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms. The combination of endovascular reconstruction of the parent vessel with use of a self-expanding stent followed by coil embolization offers a promising therapeutic alternative for wide-necked aneurysms not amenable to coil embolization alone. Although immediate angiographic results are promising, long-term angiographic and clinical follow-up is essential to determine permanent vessel patency and aneurysm occlusion rate.     

Neuroform stent deployment for treatment of a basilar tip aneurysm via a posterior communicating artery route

Coiling of a wide-necked basilar tip aneurysm can be accomplished in selected cases by placing a single Neuroform stent horizontally across the aneurysm neck via a posterior communicating artery approach rather than by placing 2 stents in a Y configuration via a basilar artery approach.

Combined stent implantation and endosaccular coil placement for treatment of experimental wide-necked aneurysms: a feasibility study in swine.

PURPOSETo assess the feasibility of combining stent implantation in the parent artery with endosaccular coil placement for the treatment of experimentally created wide-necked aneurysms.METHODSWide-necked aneurysms were surgically created on the common carotid artery in 12 swine. A metal stent was endovascularly implanted across each aneurysm neck and its effect documented anigiographically. If the aneurysm remained patent, a microcatheter was introduced into the aneurysm through the stent mesh. Electrically detachable coils were delivered into the aneurysm sac to produce thrombosis.RESULTSAfter stent implantation, one carotid artery thrombosed and two aneurysms spontaneously occluded. In the other 9 cases, coils were deposited through the stent to occlude the aneurysm. Complete aneurysm packing was possible in all 9 cases. The presence of the stent allowed placement of small coils near the aneurysm neck, thus contributing to the safe occlusion of small remnants in the final stages of aneurysm packing.CONCLUSIONThe combination of stent implantation and coil placement is feasible in the treatment of experimental wide-necked saccular aneurysms. The stent maintains patency of the parent artery while allowing aneurysm occlusion by endosaccular coil placement through the stent''s mesh. Occlusion of small aneurysm remnants is possible with no fear of coil hernation or migration into the parent artery. Long-term studies will be necessary before application to treatment of selected intracranial aneurysms.     

Modified protection using far proximal portion of self-expandable closed-cell stents for embolization of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms

Introduction

Stent-assisted embolization is sometimes limited in wide-necked aneurysms involving the acute-angled origins of tortuous branching arteries, and occasionally, Y-shaped stenting is required to remedy the sweeping effects of a broad aneurysmal neck on arterial branches. Described herein is a modified stent-assisted coil embolization technique entailing strategic placement of far proximal stent (“distal stenting”) as an alternate approach in such scenarios.

Methods

For this particular technique, stent placement is confined to a branch artery, allowing far proximal stent to cover aneurysmal neck, with no bridge to parent artery. Kinking of stents deployed in tortuous arteries is thereby avoided, and better coverage of aneurysmal neck is achieved, compared with traditional stent protection. Records of 12 consecutive patients with wide-necked aneurysms, all treated by coil embolization with distal stenting between January 2009 and February 2014, were retrieved from a prospective data repository at our institution. Outcomes were analyzed in terms of morphologic features and clinical status.

Results

This modified technique was largely applied to aneurysms of middle cerebral artery, followed by posterior communicating artery and anterior communicating artery sites. With one exception, all aneurysms treated were successfully occluded. There were no complications directly related to distal stenting. At final follow-up (mean interval, 16.8?±?9.7 months), complete aneurysmal occlusion was sustained in 81.8 %. Delayed stent migration was observed in one patient (8.3 %).

Conclusion

Our study suggests that distal stenting in wide-necked aneurysms is a reasonable alternative to traditional stent protection, despite the potential for delayed stent migration.     

Analysis of slipstream flow in a wide-necked basilar artery aneurysm: evaluation of potential treatment regimens

SUMMARY: A replica of a lethal wide-necked basilar artery aneurysm was created by casting a deceased patient's brain vessels and then placing the replica in a circuit of pulsating optically clear non-Newtonian fluid. Individual fluid slipstreams were opacified with isobaric dyes, and images were recorded on film. Studies were completed on the vascular replica, then were repeated, first after placement of a stent across the aneurysm neck and then after placement of Guglielmi detachable coils into the aneurysm sac through the stent. The slipstreams entered the untreated aneurysm via the distal aneurysm neck (the inflow zone), impacting against the distal lateral aneurysm wall. When the stent was placed across the aneurysm neck, the slipstreams lost coherence and did not strike the aneurysm sidewall. Placing the coils further disturbed and reduced aneurysmal flow, especially when the coils filled the inflow zone at the distal lateral aneurysm sac.
