Stent plus balloon-assisted coiling with low-profile braided stents in the treatment of complex wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms.

Our results showed that stent plus balloon-assisted coiling technique allows good angiographic outcomes for wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. However, overall complication rate is high. Subgroup analysis indicated promising safety and efficacy for MCA bifurcation aneurysms, suggesting this technique could be a valuable option for select aneurysms.
