Excerpt
Endovascular embolization has become an important means of treatment for intracranial aneurysms. Stent deployment across the aneurysm neck has slowly been more widely adopted, particularly for complex aneurysms [
1]. In some instances, multiple overlapping stents deployment may be used to enhance the flow diversion or to solve the protrusion of coils from orifice of stents [
2]. We report a rare complication, vascular perforation by stent in the procedure of stent-assisted coiling, and the mechanism and management are discussed. …
