Is LVIS Blue Stent Safe as an Adjunct to Coil Embolization of Intracranial Aneurysms?
Newer treatments for cerebral aneurysms have focused on reconstruction of the parent vessel lumen using flow diversion. A Mass General team retrospectively studied whether the LVIS Blue would act as a flow-diverting stent when used in conjunction with coil embolization for treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
