The use of covered stents in intracranial vascular structures is a feasible method to treat selected cases of intracranial giant aneurysms. It is suggested that patients who present with compressive mass effect caused by large or giant aneurysms are the best candidates for covered stent placement, but potential complications should be considered carefully before the stenting procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
