Neurovascular Nugget 25_ Unpacking L-Stenting for Wide-Neck Aneurysms

### Main Points🛜. Effectiveness: - High rate of adequate occlusion (88.7%). - 59.4% complete occlusion at last follow-up.🛜. Safety: - 17 complications in 12 patients (9.4%). - No intraoperative or periprocedural aneurysmal ruptures.🛜. Technique: - Single-stent L-stenting is effective and reduces the amount of metal used compared to dual-stent techniques.🛜. Comparison: - Favorable outcomes compared to other techniques like Y-stenting and new devices like the WEB device.🛜. Predictors: - Smaller aneurysm size and transcellular technique predict better outcomes. - Larger size and dome to neck ratio predict higher retreatment rates.### Clinical Implications ###✅**Treatment Choice:** - Single-stent L-stenting presents a viable alternative to dual-stent techniques, potentially reducing thromboembolic complications and procedural costs.✅ Patient Selection: - Patients with smaller aneurysms and those suitable for the transcellular technique may benefit most from L-stenting.✅ Procedure Planning: - Understanding predictors of success and retreatment can aid in better patient selection and pre-procedural planning.✅ Benchmarking: - This study provides a validated comparator for future studies on new devices and techniques for WNBAs, setting a benchmark for efficacy and safety.✅ Cost Considerations: - L-stenting could be more cost-effective due to the reduced use of stents and lower complication rates, though further studies are needed to confirm this.https://lnkd.in/dU984vPT
