Abstract：Objective To investigate the safety and short-term efficacy of LVIS (low profile visualized intraluminal support) stent-assisted coil embolization in wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with 32 wide-necked intracranial aneurysms undergoing LVIS stent-assisted coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical application was valued by Raymond classification, the modified Rankin scale (mRS) and imaging follow-up results. Results The 34 LVIS stents, including 20 LVIS stents and 14 LVIS Jr stents, were successfully inserted and released. During the procedure, aneurysm rupture occurred in 2 cases, stent distal thrombosis in 2 and stent open undesirable in 1. Angiography was performed immediately after embolization, showing complete occlusion in 29 aneurysms, residual aneurysm neck in 2 and residual aneurysm in 1. The patients were followed up for 3-12 months, no bleeding due to aneurysm rupture. Conclusions LVIS stent-assisted coil embolization is safe and short-term efficacious for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms, but need longer-term follow-ups to evaluate LVIS stent long-term efficacy.
