Flow Diverter Stents for the Treatment of Anterior Cerebral XXXX : Safety and Effectiveness.

@entity1 @entity6128 @entity439 @entity438
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow diverter stents (FDSs) are increasingly used for the treatment of @entity438 . Initially developed for the management of giant and large @entity439 , their indications have progressively expanded. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of FDSs for the treatment of @entity6128 ( @entity6128 ) @entity439 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among the 94 consecutive @entity1 treated for 100 @entity438 by means of FDSs in our institution from October 2010 to January 2015, eight @entity439 (8   %) in seven @entity1 were located on the @entity6128 . Three @entity439 were located on the A1 segment, three @entity439 on the anterior communicating artery (ACom) and two on the A2-A3 junction. In three cases, FDS was used for angiographic recurrence after coiling. Five @entity1 were treated with a Pipeline embolization device, one with a NeuroEndograft and the last one with a Silk FDS. RESULTS: Treatment was feasible in all cases. No technical difficulty was reported. No acute or delayed clinical complication was recorded. Modified Rankin Scale was 0 for six @entity1 and one for one @entity1 . Mean angiographic follow-up was 9.7        3.9 months (range 6-15). Total exclusion was observed in five @entity439 (71.4   %) and neck remnant in two (28.6   %) cases. One @entity1 refused the control DSA. CONCLUSION: Our series shows the safety and effectiveness of FDSs for the treatment of @entity6128 @entity439 .
