Background: With the approval of detachable coils in 1995, endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms has become an alternative to surgical clip ligation. Despite the introduction of “modified” coils and advanced techniques such as stent-assisted and balloon-assisted coiling, coil embolization has major limitations because of inability to completely and permanently occlude all aneurysms. As stents were being developed for intracranial use, it was hypothesized that stents could be utilized to divert flow “away” from the aneurysm “back” into the parent vessel, and the concept of “endovascular flow diversion” was proposed. This study aims to report our experience with cerebral aneurysms, which may improve in the treatment with the flow-diverter stent and follow up (1). Methods: This study was conducted in consecutive series of 23 patients. 23 procedures were performed for treating these patients in Ha Noi heart hospital from January 2019 to January 2020. 23 flow diverter stents (Pipeline) were used. Aneurysms morphology, stent patency and cerebral parenchyma before and after intervention were analyzed on images of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR). The follow-up data after 3–6 months and 12 months were recorded. Results: In 23 patients (8 men, 15 women), aneurysms of internal carotid artery were mostly common (95.7%), especially in cavernous segments. 13 cases (74%) had saccular aneurysms, and 2 cases (9%) had multiple aneurysms, and only 3 cases (13%) had fusiform aneurysms. Endovascular treatment was successfully performed at rate of 100%.. Mortality and morbidity rates were 0% and 0%, respectively. MRI and MSCT follow-up at 3 months showed complete or incomplete occlusions of aneurysms was 26.1% or 34.8%, respectively.  Conclusions: Deployment of flow diverter stent is safe and effective with high rate of successful and low procedural complications

Intracranial aneurysms are bulges in vessels that are prone to rupture with attendant morbidity and mortality. Early detection and treatment can avoid rupture and its associated consequences. Endovascular treatment of aneurysms with wide neck can be challenging due to potential coil migration or protrusion. The use of intracranial stents and balloons can help overcome some of these management challenges. We present 3 cases of endovascular treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. The first patient presented with a wide-neck left middle cerebral artery aneurysm that was successfully treated with stent-assisted coiling with complete obliteration of the aneurysmal sac. The second patient presented with a large, cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm that was successfully treated with a flow diverter stent with complete obliteration of the aneurysm while the third case presented with a wide-neck left posterior communicating artery aneurysm and was also successfully treated with stent-assisted coiling. Even though endovascular treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms is technically challenging, the evolution of new treatment techniques such as the use of stents and stent-assisted coiling make these treatments safe.

Endovascular coiling for intracranial aneurysms has become an accepted treatment with good clinical results and provides adequate protection against rebleeding and rupture of aneurysms. However, despite the experience, preparation, or skill of the physician, complications during endovascular treatment still occur. The main complications of endovascular coiling are: procedural aneurysmal perforations by the microcatheter, micro-guidewire, or coil, and thromboembolic events. Such situations are unexpected, complex, and can have devastating consequences. In this article, we present a comprehensive review of the two most common complications, aneurysmal perforation and thromboembolism during endovascular coiling, and how we can prevent or overcome these complications to achieve a satisfactory outcome. In addition, as the flow diverter has been become an important tool for management of large, wide necked, and other anatomically challenging aneurysms, we also describe complications stemming from the use of the tool, which remains a novel treatment option for complex aneurysms.
