| Popis: | Aim of the study To present our experience in the treatment of iatrogenic dissections of extracranial internal carotid and vertebral arteries with the Neuroform Atlas stent. Materials and methods Between January 2017 and February 2018 we treated iatrogenic dissections of three internal carotid arteries and three vertebral arteries. These iatrogenic dissections occurred during the endovascular treatment of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The indication for stenting was haemodynamically significant, flow-limiting dissection with threatening flow arrest. In all six cases, the dissections were treated by placement of Neuroform Atlas stents in the dissected segments of internal carotid or vertebral arteries. Deployment of the stent was followed by the usual dual antiplatelet regimen. Results Single or multiple Neuroform Atlas stents were deployed without any technical difficulties, and blood flow was restored immediately after placement of the stents in all six cases. Midterm follow-up (6–8 months) showed complete reconstruction of the shape and lumen of all treated arteries, with negligible intimal hyperplasia. Conclusion Our results indicate that a favourable outcome can be achieved by treating iatrogenic dissections of extracranial internal carotid and vertebral arteries with the Neuroform Atlas stent. |
