OBJECTIVE: Tiny @entity438 are difficult to embolize because the @entity439 's sac is too small for a single small coil, and coils within the @entity439 may escape from the confinement of a stent. This study was performed to introduce the stent-assisted coil-jailing technique and to investigate its effect on the coil embolization of tiny @entity438 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen @entity1 with tiny @entity438 treated with the stent-assisted coil-jailing technique between January 2011 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed and followed-up. RESULTS: All @entity439 were successfully treated with the coil-jailing technique, and at the end of embolization, @entity432 of the @entity439 was achieved in 9 cases (56.3%), @entity432 in 6 (37.5%), and partial occlusion in 1 (6.3%). Intraprocedural complications included acute @entity715 in one case (6.3%) and re-rupture in another (6.3%). Both complications were managed appropriately with no sequela. Follow-up was performed in all @entity1 for 3-24 months (mean, 7.7 months) after embolization. Complete occlusion was sustained in the 9 @entity439 with @entity432 , progressive @entity715 to @entity432 occurred in the 6 @entity439 with @entity439 resulted in progressive @entity715 to @entity432 after initial partial occlusion. No migration of stents or coils occurred at follow-up as compared with their positions immediately after embolization. At follow-up, all @entity1 had recovered with no sequela. CONCLUSION: The stent-assisted coil-jailing technique can be an efficient approach for tiny @entity438 , even though no definite conclusion regarding its safety can be drawn from the current data.

The stent-assisted coil-jailing technique facilitates efficient embolization of tiny XXXX .
