BACKGROUND: Successful experiences of the Neuroform stent-assisted coiling have been reported by many teams in endovascular neurosurgery centers throughout the world. However, most of the reported complications involved a limited number of @entity1 . OBJECTIVE: To systematically report the complications of Neuroform stent-assisted coiling of @entity438 and to tentatively assess the efficacy and safety of this method. METHODS: A retrospective study of 232 consecutive @entity1 with 239 wide-neck @entity439 treated with Neuroform stent-assisted coil embolization at our institution over a 6-year period was performed. Angiographic results and clinical outcome were evaluated. Cases with complications were analyzed. RESULTS: Stenting was successful in 237 of 239 @entity439 . Favorable clinical outcome (modified Rankin score: 0-2) was observed in 88  3% of the @entity1 . Procedure-related complications included @entity1031 (n = 13), intraprocedural @entity397 (n=8), coil protrusions (n=5), new mass effect (n=3), @entity130 (n=3), and stent dislodgement (n=2). Procedure-related morbidity and mortality were 4  2 and 1  3%, respectively. @entity532 attributable to @entity510 in 129 @entity1 with @entity1756 were symptomatic @entity2553 (18  6%) and shunt-dependent @entity1276 (6  9%). Angiography follow-up was obtained in 67  1% of the treated @entity439 . The overall recanalization rate was 14  5%. Delayed complications included in-stent @entity850 (n=2) and penetrating @entity432 (n=2) in follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Neuroform sent-assisted coiling of @entity438 is a safe technique with relatively low recanalization rate. The main cause of morbidity and mortality is @entity1031 . Long-term effect on parent artery should be observed carefully.
