In-stent stenosis as a delayed complication of neuroform stent-supported coil embolization of an incidental carotid terminus aneurysm

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2004 Nov-Dec;25(10):1764-7.

Abstract

The Neuroform stent is the first microcatheter-delivered stent designed specifically for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. The stent functions primarily to provide durable parent vessel protection during the embolization of broad-necked cerebral aneurysms. The present case report demonstrates in-stent stenosis occurring as a delayed complication of Neuroform stent-supported coil embolization of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm.
