Flow diverter stents are increasingly used as the sole endovascular treatment method for complex or wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.1Technical complications related to stent deployment are infrequently reported in the literature. During treatment, implant misbehaviors may occur, including incomplete tubular expansion with insufficient aneurysmal coverage and wall apposition, proximal or distal narrowing, and twisting along the axis.2– 4Little is known about this phenomenon, especially if it relates to the operator experience, deployment techniques, different devices, and implant properties. The management of these complications requires technical precision and is often remediated by “massaging” the stent with the delivery system, balloon angioplasty, or placement of additional self-expandable stents. Lastly, if critically damaged, the stent could be taken out of the vessel with a combination of maneuvers called “stentectomy.”5These techniques often necessitate multiple navigations and the utilization of a larger microcatheter. We aim to highlight the feasibility of Comaneci 17 stent-angioplasty as an effective bailout strategy for inadequately deployed flow diverter stents. The suggested approach's technical aspects, including pros and cons, have been discussed. |
