Background And Objectives: We evaluated the technical and clinical results of implantation of the Atlas stent, the hospital stay, and the short and long-term clinical and angiographic outcome.
Patients And Method: The study included 169 patients (60.1 10.8 year-old), 60.3% of which had acute coronary syndromes and complex lesions. Immediate success was achieved in 98% of cases. The clinical follow-up in 85.7% of the patients at 14.3 6.8 months, revealed that 89% remained free of adverse events and most (94.4%) were functional class I of the CCS. Angiographic follow-up at 8.4 4.1 months of 40.9% of the cases revealed restenosis in 27.9%. There were 2 cases of subacute thrombosis.
Conclusions: The application of the Atlas stent in patients with a diverse clinical spectrum demonstrated good immediate and long term results, with a rate of restenosis similar to that of other stents available on the market.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness, safety, and efficacy of Atlas stents in the treatment of distal intracranial aneurysms (IAs).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with IAs who underwent stent-assisted coiling (SAC) from January 2018 to January 2022 and divided them into two groups: distal IAs treated with Atlas SAC and wide-necked aneurysms in other locations treated with SAC. The clinical data, imaging data, and postoperative follow-up data for the two groups of patients during hospitalization were collected.

Article Synopsis
- Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are a leading cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and using the Neuroform Atlas stent (NAS) with coiling is more effective than coiling alone for treatment.
- The study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 42 studies covering 2434 participants to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NAS, analyzing outcomes like aneurysm occlusion rates and related adverse events.
- Results showed high occlusion success (95% overall), favorable modified Rankin Scale scores indicating good patient outcomes (93% mRS grade 0), and low adverse event rates (≤ 5%), though the study noted limitations in specific mortality data and the lack of comparative studies

Neuroform Atlas (NFA; Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, CA, USA) is a useful and safe device for the treatment of broad-necked and unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Rarely does a proximal shift of both the stent and delivery catheter occur during deployment, and it can be complex to treat. We present two cases in which an NFA that had migrated proximally during deployment was successfully retrieved.
