OBJECT: Intracranial stent placement combined with coil embolization is an emerging procedure for the treatment of @entity438 . The authors report their results using intracranial stents for the treatment of @entity438 . METHODS: A prospectively maintained database was reviewed to identify all @entity1 with @entity438 that were treated with intracranial stents. Ten lesions, including eight broad-based @entity439 and two dissecting @entity439 , were treated in 10 @entity1 . Four lesions were located in the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery, two at the vertebrobasilar junction, two at the basilar trunk, one at the basilar apex, and one in the intracranial vertebral artery. Attempts were made to place stents in 13 @entity1 , but in three the stents could not be delivered. Altogether, intracranial stents were placed in 10 @entity1 for 10 lesions. Results that were determined to be satisfactory angiographically were achieved in all 10 lesions. Two @entity1 suffered permanent @entity16 related to stent placement. In two @entity1 , the @entity439 recurred after stent-assisted coil embolization. In one case of recurrence a second attempt at coil embolization was successful, whereas in the second case of recurrence parent vessel occlusion was required and well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: Intracranial stents can be a useful addition to coil embolization by providing mechanical, hemodynamic, and visual benefits in the treatment of complex, broad-based @entity439 .
