Implication

Clinical study reveals successful stent deployment in complex cerebral aneurysms, indicating feasible endovascular treatment despite tortuous vasculature.

Key Points

To assess the feasibility, placement accuracy, and procedural safety of using the Neuroform stent to treat cerebral aneurysms.
Evaluated the delivery and accurate deployment of the Neuroform stent in patients with cerebral aneurysms not otherwise amenable to standard endovascular therapy.
Assessed technical feasibility across tortuous cerebral vascular anatomy and monitored the occurrence of clinically significant complications.
Accurate stent deployment succeeded in the majority of cases, even when navigating the most tortuous segments of the cerebral vasculature.
Clinically significant complications occurred uncommonly despite technical challenges encountered during device delivery and deployment.
