Objective: Flow diverter stent (FDS) deployment in neuroendovascular therapy carries a risk of vessel injury related to unintended distal advancement of the delivery wire, particularly in cases with distal aneurysms. Safe control of wire behavior during deployment remains challenging. We describe a deployment strategy using a distal access catheter (DAC) to mitigate this risk.
Sugai et al. (2026) studied this question.
