Safety and efficacy of the Neuroform Atlas stent in the treatment of intracranial arterial stenosis: a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis

Key Points

• To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Neuroform Atlas stent for treating symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS).
• Conducted a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis.
• Included small, retrospective studies on the Neuroform Atlas stent.
• Assessed rates of functional independence among patients treated.
• The Neuroform Atlas stent showed high rates of functional independence.
• The procedure was technically feasible and relatively safe.
• Limited evidence from small studies suggests more extensive research is necessary.
