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.

New Methods for Assessing and Treating Unruptured Brain Aneurysms
Not all aneurysms require surgical intervention. New research led by Aman Patel, MD, director of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital seeks to reduce rupture risk and help identify patients at a high-risk with the help of computer modeling.
