Multicenter Study
Initial multicentre experience using the neuroform atlas stent for the treatment of un-ruptured saccular cerebral aneurysms.
Purpose: The Neuroform Atlas is a self-expandable and low-profiled stent that is used for aneurysm neck scaffolding and has been recently approved for clinical practice in Korea. We present our initial experiences of endovascular coiling using the Neuroform Atlas stent. Materials and methods: All cerebral aneurysms treated by stent-assisted coiling with a Neuroform atlas stent in two institutions between February and May 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. ⋯ Angiographic follow-up data at a mean of 4.8 months were available for 51/54 (94.4%) aneurysms. Among them, 27 aneurysms (52.9%) were stable, 20 aneurysms (39.2%) showed progressive occlusion and 4 aneurysms showed an increased modified Raymond Roy occlusion classification score (only one of these patients was included in the recanalization criteria). Conclusion: Our findings suggest the Neuroform Atlas stent can be useful for the coiling of cerebral aneurysms without significant complications regardless of aneurysm location.
