Hemodynamic effects of stent struts versus straightening of vessels in stent-assisted coil embolization for sidewall cerebral aneurysms.

BACKGROUND: Recent clinical studies have shown that recanalization rates are lower in stent-assisted coil embolization than in coiling alone in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess and compare the hemodynamic effect of stent struts and straightening of vessels b...
