Abstract
Purpose: Treating small-caliber vessel aneurysms with flow diverters poses challenges due to narrow luminal diameters and tortuous vasculature, which complicate the navigation and deployment of conventional devices using standard microcatheters. The Silk Vista Baby (SVB, Balt, Montmorency, France) flow diverter was developed to treat intracranial aneurysms located in smaller vessels or more distal segments and is compatible with 0.017″ microcatheters. We present the largest multicenter analysis to date evaluating the outcomes of SVB use in unruptured distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms.
Methods: Retrospective data from 20 centers were reviewed for patients with unruptured DACA aneurysms treated with the SVB. Demographic information, clinical presentation, radiographic characteristics, complications, and outcomes were recorded.
Results: Seventy-nine patients (79 DACA aneurysms) were treated between January 2018 and December 2022; 59 were female (74.7%), and the median age was 61 years (IQR 53-67). Most aneurysms were saccular (89.9%), and 65.8% involved a branch. The median parent vessel diameter was 1.9 mm (IQR 1.7-2.1). A single stent was implanted in 97.5% of cases; 2.5% required two stents. The median imaging follow-up duration was 12 months (IQR 9.5-24). At the last follow-up, 76% of aneurysms showed complete or near-complete occlusion (O'Kelly-Marotta scale C or D, Raymond-Roy 1 or 2). Overall, thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications occurred in 14% of patients, with two cases being symptomatic. The mortality rate was 0%, and the retreatment rate was 1.3%.
Conclusion: In this multicenter series, the SVB flow diverter represented a valuable treatment option for distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms.
期刊介绍:
Neuroradiology aims to provide state-of-the-art medical and scientific information in the fields of Neuroradiology, Neurosciences, Neurology, Psychiatry, Neurosurgery, and related medical specialities. Neuroradiology as the official Journal of the European Society of Neuroradiology receives submissions from all parts of the world and publishes peer-reviewed original research, comprehensive reviews, educational papers, opinion papers, and short reports on exceptional clinical observations and new technical developments in the field of Neuroimaging and Neurointervention. The journal has subsections for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, Advanced Neuroimaging, Paediatric Neuroradiology, Head-Neck-ENT Radiology, Spine Neuroradiology, and for submissions from Japan. Neuroradiology aims to provide new knowledge about and insights into the function and pathology of the human nervous system that may help to better diagnose and treat nervous system diseases. Neuroradiology is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and follows the COPE core practices. Neuroradiology prefers articles that are free of bias, self-critical regarding limitations, transparent and clear in describing study participants, methods, and statistics, and short in presenting results. Before peer-review all submissions are automatically checked by iThenticate to assess for potential overlap in prior publication.
