Combined use of a pCONus and a Solitaire stent: Report of two cases.
Interventional Neuroradiology 2017 April
Objective The aim of this study was to report our initial experience of the use of the pCONus neck protection device in conjunction with the Solitaire AB stent to assist in the endovascular management of complex intracranial aneurysms with arteries arising from both the neck and the dome of the aneurysm. Methods Two patients with unruptured aneurysms underwent elective endovascular management of their aneurysms, one arising from the middle cerebral artery bifurcation and one from the anterior communicating artery. Both aneurysms had vessels arising from the neck and dome of the aneurysm. We present the strategy involved to protect all the arterial branches and coil occlude the aneurysm, the angiographic appearances and clinical status of the patients. Results Both cases involved the combined use of a pCONus and Solitaire stent. The parent vessel and efferent branches were all preserved with exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation. There were no intraoperative complications. One patient developed mild transient symptoms 24 hours post procedure, which had resolved completely on discharge. Conclusion The use of the pCONus in conjunction with the Solitaire stent is a useful combination when dealing with complex wide-necked aneurysms with arteries derived from the fundus of the aneurysm.
