Özet

Incomplete initial occlusion rates and relatively less long-term durability remain as major problems of endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Stent-assisted coiling is a well-established current solution to overcome these problems. Double-stent treatment with a Y-configuration has been previously reported to improve the application of coiling to wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. Herein, a novel technique of X-configured stent-assisted coiling for treatment of wide-neck and complex AcomA aneurysms is described.
