Background And Purpose: A patient with a previously Y-stented giant left middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm returned with a recurrence.
Materials And Methods: A flow diverter (FD) was deployed through one limb of the high-porosity Y-stenting construction. The proximal FD failed to expand and an attempt at balloon angioplasty led to fatal rupture of the MCA.
Results: Autopsy demonstrated subarachnoid hemorrhage, vessel rupture and fracture of the proximal high-porosity stent. Microscopic photographs showed that the FD had failed to open because the guiding wire had inadvertently exited and re-entered the proximal segment of the high-porosity stent partially incorporated to the wall of the MCA. Balloon dilatation of the FD which had remained collapsed between the stent and the vessel wall caused fracture of the stent and rupture of the artery.
Conclusion: Angioplasty and flow-diversion of previously Y-stented aneurysms can lead to serious complications.

The p48 MW HPC is a novel low-profile flow diverter covered by a hydrophilic polymer coating with antithrombogenic properties, which may reduce ischemic complications and enable a single antiplatelet therapy after insertion of the stent. In this single-center experience, we describe the efficacy of this device, focusing on the illustration of different therapeutic indications and the outcome in various clinical settings with regard to vessel anatomy, bleeding state, and aneurysm configuration. We retrospectively reviewed our database for all patients being treated with a p48 MW HPC flow diverter between February 2019 and July 2021.

Anterior choroidal artery (AChoA) aneurysms pose a challenge for both endovascular and clipping procedures. The eloquent territory supplied by the parent vessel has limited collateralization and its compromise can lead to significant morbidity. This study aims to analyze the clinical outcomes and procedure-related complications of clipping and endovascular treatment of AChoA aneurysms to aid physician decision making.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to assess the mid-term efficacy and safety of the FRED X flow diverting stent (FDS) in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The FRED X FDS is relatively new with limited data on its longer-term effectiveness and safety profile.
Methods: Patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with the FRED X FDS at two UK centres, between March 2021 and July 2022 with at least 18 months follow-up, were retrospectively reviewed.

Introduction: In the past decade, flow diverters (FDs) have increasingly been used to treat cerebral aneurysms with unfavorable morphology in which other endovascular techniques fall short of being as effective. In-stent stenosis (ISS) is one of the most puzzling and frequent risks of flow diversion therapy observed on follow-ups. This complication, although mostly placid in its clinical course, can have dire consequences if patients become symptomatic.

Background: Intrasaccular devices are increasingly used in endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms, in particular wide-necked and ruptured aneurysms. The Trenza Embolization Device (TED) is an innovative intrasaccular device for medium- to large-sized aneurysms. Currently, literature about the TED is scarce.
