BACKGROUND: The management of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms remains a controversial topic, and MCA aneurysms have traditionally been treated primarily by surgical clipping. The Neuroform Atlas Stent™ (NAS, available from Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, California) represents the latest generation of intracranial stents with improved stent delivery system capabilities.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the safety, feasibility and efficacy exhibited by NAS in treating unruptured aneurysms at the MCA bifurcation.
METHODS: This was a two-center retrospective study involving 42 patients with unruptured wide-necked aneurysms (WNAs) of the MCA treated with the NAS from October 2020 to July 2022.
RESULTS: The stent was used to treat 42 cases of unruptured WNA at the MCA bifurcation. Endovascular treatment techniques had a 100% success rate. Immediate postoperative angiography found complete aneurysm occlusion in 34 patients (80.9%) (mRRC 1), neck remnant in 7 patients (16.7%) (mRRC 2), and residual aneurysm in 1 patient (2.4%) (mRRC 3). The thromboembolic complication rate was 2.4% (1/42). The follow-up period was 8.7 months on average (3-16 months). The last angiographic follow-up results revealed complete aneurysm occlusion in 39 patients (92.9%) (mRRC 1), neck remnant in 3 (7.1%) patients (mRRC 2), no aneurysm recanalization or recurrence, and no cases of stent intimal hyperplasia. During the latest clinical follow-up, all patients had an mRS score of 0.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that the NAS can be applied to treat unruptured WNAs at the MCA bifurcation with favorable safety, feasibility, and efficacy.
