Thromboembolic events associated with Neuroform stent in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Background: The incidence of thromboembolic events associated with Neuroform stent (Boston Scientific Target, Fremont, CA) is known from previous studies but there are uncertainties of scale.

Purpose: To report our rate of ischemic events associated with Neuroform stent.

Methods: Consecutive patients treated with Neuroform stent for intracranial aneurysms were prospectively enrolled from January 2003 to August 2006.

Complications of Neuroform stent in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Background: The Neuroform stent can help in the treatment of difficult, wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. The objective of our study is to report some of the challenges associated with the Neuroform stent in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: From January 2003 to August 2006, consecutive patients treated with Neuroform stent for intracranial aneurysms were prospectively enrolled.

Sapphire platinum detachable coil experience in a tertiary-care facility.

Background: The Guglielmi Detachable Coil introduced by the Boston Scientific Corporation has been widely used for endovascular coiling of aneurysm. Recently, Sapphire platinum detachable coils (eV3, Irvine, CA) have been introduced for aneurysm coiling. Herein, we report our clinical experience with the Sapphire coil to evaluate the incidence of coil related complications and the rate of aneurysm occlusion.
