Wide-necked Intracranial Aneurysms: Treatment with Stent-assisted Coil Embolization during Acute (<72 Hours) Subarachnoid Hemorrhage—Experience in 61 Consecutive Patients

Abstract

Stent-assisted coil embolization is a feasible method for the endovascular treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms that are difficult to treat surgically or with balloon-assisted embolization during acute SAH. The risk of subsequent rerupture of the aneurysm seems to be reduced for aneurysms treated early compared with that for nonsecured aneurysms.
