Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using coil embolization plus an Enterprise stent

Chin Med J (Engl). 2011 Feb;124(4):611-4.

Abstract

Background: Several difficulties can arise from wide-neck cerebral aneurysms when treated with endovascular embolization. We aimed to investigate the effect of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using coil embolization plus an Enterprise stent.

Methods: Forty patients were treated with coil embolization plus an Enterprise stent between December 2008 and June 2010.

Results: The mortality of patients was 0. All stents were successfully implanted without any surgery-related complication.

Conclusion: The Enterprise stent has some advantages to be selected.
