Popis: The Neuroform Atlas (Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, CA, USA) is a low-profile laser cut self-expanding nitinol stent designed to provide coil support and wall apposition during aneurysm embolisation. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of outcomes after treatment with the Neuroform Atlas stent for the purpose of coil embolisation. The primary objectives of this meta-analysis were to define the safety (treatment-related complications, neurologic outcomes, mortality rate) and the efficacy (aneurysm occlusion rate) of the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with the Neuroform Atlas stent. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane CENTRAL Library for all published studies on the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with the Neuroform Atlas device up to 6 April 2020. The review was prepared in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 14 studies were analysed (577 patients with 593 intracranial aneurysms). The mean age was 58.2 years and 35.6% were male. Technical success of the procedure was 100%. RROC1/RROC2 (Raymond-Roy occlusion classification (RROC) 1/2) (total occlusion/neck remnant) at a mean follow-up of 8.9 months was achieved in 94.8%. RROC3 was 4.9%. All-cause mortality was 1.8% and permanent residual neurological deficit or disability was 2.7%. Overall complications at follow-up were 6.2%. Our analysis demonstrated good rates of occlusion at follow-up for aneurysms treated with the Atlas device at follow-up. The safety profile appears similar to other low-profile intracranial stents.
