Abstract

Introduction. Improvement of the endovascular equipment expands the possibilities in the treatment of complex aneurysms of the brain. The use of low-profile stents allowed performing operations on complex distal aneurysms. This publication assesses the effectiveness and safety of such operations.

Materials and methods. In the department of vascular neurosurgery for the period from June 2014 to December 2016 using low-profile stent, 44 patients with 45 aneurysms of cerebral vessels were operated.

Results. 44 patients with 45 cerebral aneurysms performed 46 endovascular interventions. Most stents were implanted in the posterior circulation – 30 (65.2 %), in the anterior circulation – 16 (34.8 %) patients. Total occlusion (Raymond–Roy I) immediately after surgery was achieved in 35 (83.3 %), subtotal (Raymond–Roy II) – 7 (17.7 %). A favorable outcome of treatment was obtained in 44 (97.7 %). An unfavorable result was obtained in 1 (2.3 %) patient. There was no mortality.

Conclusion. The results obtained may indicate the presence of a minimum incidence of complications that does not exceed the risk of a natural course of the disease. The results of control angiograms in the long-term period demonstrated the stability of totally occluded aneurysms, a minimal percentage of recanalization, and an increase in the rate of occlusion subtotal embolization of aneurysms.
