Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment of broad-neck intracranial aneurysms with detachable coils requires special techniques. Placement of a stent over the aneurysm neck and secondary coil embolization prevents coil migration and allows attenuated packing of the coils. However, access for the stent-delivery system can be technically limited in tortuous anatomy. We present six cases of broad-neck aneurysms treated with a new self-expanding stent and coil embolization.
