Braided stents used as stent monotherapy appear to be sufficiently effective in the treatment of very small intracranial aneurysms, despite a lower overall occlusion rate compared to a standard flow diversion strategy. However, given the low morbidity rate, this strategy may be an alternative to flow-diverter stents for small and distally located lesions.
