BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stent-assisted coil embolization of early branch aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) can sometimes be challenging due to the small diameter and acute angle of the branches. This study aimed to analyze the treatment results and report the feasibility and outcomes of the distal stenting technique for these aneurysms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The distal stenting technique was used for 15 wide-neck MCA aneurysms (females, 10; males, 5; mean age, 65.1 years) originating from the early branch between December 2018 and October 2021. The average sizes of the dome, depth, and neck of the aneurysms were 4.17 mm (range: 2.99-6.21 mm), 2.86 mm (range: 1.82-3.72 mm), and 3.42 mm (range: 2.44-4.32 mm), respectively.
RESULTS: The average diameter of the stents was 4.0 mm (3.0 mm, 3; 4.0 mm, 6; 4.5 mm, 6). Stents were successfully deployed in all 15 aneurysms (100%). The average length of the procedure was 69 min (range: 45-117 min). On postoperative angiography, nine (60.0%) aneurysms were completely occluded, four (26.7%) had neck remnants, and two (13.3%) had contrast flow in the sac. During the procedure, vasospasm and thrombus formation occurred in one case each, but no neurological sequelae were observed. On follow-up digital subtraction angiography of the 10 aneurysms after an average of 13.7 months (range: 12-18 months), the branches were well preserved, and neck remnants were noted in four aneurysms (40.0%). No thromboembolic events occurred during the clinical follow-up.
CONCLUSION: The distal stenting technique using an open-cell stent can be a good option for coil embolization of early branch MCA aneurysms.
