To investigate the safety and efficacy of low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) stent-assisted coiling of intracranial tiny aneurysms using a "compressed" stent technique. We retrospectively analyzed patients with tiny aneurysms treated in our hospital with LVIS devices using a compressed stent technique. We analyzed patients' imaging outcomes, clinical outcomes, and complications. Forty-two tiny aneurysms in 42 patients were included in this study cohort; 8 patients presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage at admission. The immediate postoperative complete embolization rate was 76.2% (32/42). After an average of 8.5 months of imaging follow-up, the complete embolization rate was 90.5% (38/42), and no aneurysm recanalization occurred. After an average of 24.4 months of clinical follow-up, 95.2% (40/42) of the patients achieved favorable clinical outcomes (modified Rankin scale = 0/1). Operation-related complications occurred in two patients (4.8%); one intraoperative acute thrombosis, and one significant unilateral decreased vision during the postoperative follow-up. LVIS stent-assisted coiling of intracranial tiny aneurysms using a compressed stent technique is safe and effective. Combined stent compression technology is beneficial to maximize the complete embolization of aneurysms and reduce aneurysm recanalization. This study expands the clinical applicability of LVIS stents.
