Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using a self-expanding stent

Objective: We present data on the use of a new self-expanding stent (Leo) and adjunctive coiling in a series of complex saccular, fusiform, and acutely bled aneurysms. Methods: 59 saccular (sc) broad-necked intracranial aneurysms and 11 fusiform (fu) lesions in 66 patients were treated electively after standard aspirin and clopidogrel pretreatment. Aneurysms were located at internal carotid artery (22 sc, 1 fu), basilar trunk (5 sc, 5 fu), middle cerebral artery (10 sc), cavernous carotid artery (8 sc, 3 fu), basilar tip (7 sc), anterior cerebral artery (3 sc), anterior communicating artery (2 sc), intracranial…
