Effect on ophthalmic imaging findings of flow-diverting stent treatment covering the origin of the ophthalmic artery.

Background: Flow-diverting stents are devices that are increasingly used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and expand the spectrum of endovascular treatment. The patency of side branches and perforators is a major concern about flow-diverting stent (FDS) treatment.

Methods: From 2011 to 2020, seventy-eight patients in whom the orifice of the ophthalmic artery was covered during FDS treatment were evaluated in this study.
