Flow-diverting stents in the management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aims to investigate the indications and therapeutic efficacy of flow-diverting stents (FDSs) in the management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) and dissections.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 18 patients treated for ECAAs with an FDS between 2010 and 2024. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedural details, and clinical and radiologic follow-up outcomes were extracted from medical records. Procedures were performed under general anesthesia using standard endovascular techniques. Patients received preoperative and postoperative antiplatelet therapy and were fully anticoagulated during the procedure. Follow- up assessments included digital subtraction angiography or computed tomography angiography at 6-12 months and clinical evaluations to monitor symptom resolution and complications.
resultsEighteen patients, with an average age of 46.44 ± 17.54 years, underwent 19 endovascular interventions. Technical success was achieved in all cases. Single stent deployment was used in 15 aneurysms, and telescopic stent deployment in 7. Total occlusion of the aneurysm was achieved in 94.4% of cases. One patient required retreatment due to the separation of two overlapped telescopic stents. All patients were discharged within 2 days post-procedure, with symptomatic patients experiencing the complete resolution of symptoms. No complications or adverse events were reported during the follow-up period.
conclusionThe endovascular treatment of ECAAs with FDSs appears to be a safe and effective alternative, achieving high technical success and positive clinical outcomes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The use of FDSs for treating ECAAs significantly improves patient outcomes with minimal complications.
