Procedural Outcome Following Stent-Assisted Coiling for Wide-Necked Aneurysms Using Three Different Stent Models: A Single-Center Experience.

Previous case series have described the safety and efficacy of different stent models for stent-assisted aneurysm coiling (SAC), but comparative analyses of procedural results are limited. This study investigates the procedural outcome and safety of three different stent models (Atlas™, LEO+™ (Baby) and Enterprise™) in the setting of elective SAC treated at a tertiary neuro-endovascular center. We retrospectively reviewed all consecutively treated patients that received endovascular SAC for intracranial aneurysms between 1 July 2013 and 31 March 2020, excluding all emergency angiographies for acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. The primary procedural outcome was the occlusion rate evaluated with the Raymond-Roy occlusion classification (RROC) assessed on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) at 6- and 12-month follow-up. Safety assessment included periprocedural adverse events (i.e., symptomatic ischemic complications, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, iatrogenic perforation, dissection, or aneurysm rupture and in-stent thrombosis) and in-house mortality. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify patient baseline and aneurysm characteristics that were associated with complete aneurysm obliteration at follow-up. A total of 156 patients undergoing endovascular treatment via SAC met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 62 years (IQR, 55-71), and 73.7% (115) of patients were female. At first follow-up (6-month) and last available follow-up (12 and 18 months), complete aneurysm occlusion was observed in 78.3% (90) and 76.9% (102) of patients, respectively. There were no differences regarding the occlusion rates stratified by stent model. Multivariable logistic analysis revealed increasing dome/neck ratio (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 0.26.; 95% CI, 0.11-0.64;
