The goal of this study was to evaluate the strategy of stent only therapy. Materials and methods A retrospective analysis of 20 patients with 20 intracranial fusiform aneurysms undergoing endovascular treatment using stent only therapy was undertaken. Feasibility, safety, and angiographic follow-up were evaluated. Results 28 Leo Plus stents were successfully deployed in 20 patients. No technical difficulties in relation to stent navigation, placement, or detachment from the delivery system were observed. A 6 month, 1 year, and 2 year follow-up angiograms were performed in all patients. 15 aneurysms showed complete occlusion and five partial stable occlusion. During the follow-up period, there was no evidence of in-stent stenoses or occlusion of the incorporated branching vessels. In this study, no patient presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage or died during follow-up. Conclusions Stent only therapy in this study proved very useful as a flow diverter for the treatment of intracranial fusiform aneurysms in which parent artery occlusion or stenting{\textendash}coiling was not feasible.}, issn = {1759-8478}, URL = {https://jnis.bmj.com/content/5/Suppl_3/iii22}, eprint = {https://jnis.bmj.com/content/5/Suppl_3/iii22.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery} }
