Implication

Clinical study demonstrates high occlusion rates and low morbidity in wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, indicating balloon remodelling safely expands endovascular treatment options.

Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and occlusion efficacy of a temporary balloon remodelling technique during coil placement for wide-neck intracranial aneurysms compared to standard coiling.
Evaluated 56 wide-neck aneurysms in 54 patients, including 37 (70%) presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Aneurysm sites included the vertebrobasilar artery (n=25), internal carotid artery (n=24), and smaller arteries (n=7).
Applied a remodelling technique using temporary inflation of a non-detachable balloon across the neck during each coil placement.
Successful coil placement occurred in 52 aneurysms across 50 patients, achieving total occlusion in 77% (40/52), subtotal in 17% (9/52), and incomplete occlusion in 6% (3/52).
Intraprocedural complications included clotting in 3 cases (resulting in 1 permanent quadranopia deficit) and asymptomatic rupture in 3 cases.
Technique-related morbidity was 1/52 (1%) and procedural mortality was 0/56.
