Article Synopsis
- Crossing Y-stent-assisted coiling (CYSAC) is a promising method for treating challenging wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms, although it can be technically difficult.
- A study involving 37 patients treated with Y-stent-assisted coiling using LVIS EVO stents showed that a significant majority (83.8%) achieved excellent occlusion immediately after treatment, with high success rates maintained over an average follow-up of nearly 33 months.
- The researchers' "drill turn" technique for stent crossing was effective, leading to safe outcomes and stable occlusion rates, demonstrating the method's feasibility for treating these aneurysms.
Flow diversion is increasingly used as an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms. In this retrospective multicenter study, we analyzed the safety and efficacy of the treatment of intracranial, unruptured, or previously treated but recanalized aneurysms using Flow Re-Direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) Jr with emphasis on midterm results. Clinical and radiological records of 150 patients harboring 159 aneurysms treated with FRED Jr at six centers between October 2014 and February 2020 were reviewed and consecutively included.

Methods: Patients with cerebral or spinal vascular malformations treated with the Scepter Mini at seven European neurovascular centers were retrospectively reviewed.
Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs) make up 26-36% of all brain aneurysms. Treatments for WNBAs pose unique challenges due to the need to preserve major bifurcation vessels while achieving a durable occlusion of the aneurysm. Intrasaccular flow disruption is an innovative technique for the treatment of WNBAs.

Methods: One-hundred and fifty patients with wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms were enrolled at 21 US and six international centers. Angiograms from the index procedure, and 6-month and 1-year follow-up visits were all reviewed by a core laboratory.
