Predisposing factors for the deformation of parent artery of anterior circulation saccular aneurysm after stent-assisted embolization: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Background

It has been previously reported in several studies that deformation of parent artery (DPA) occurs after stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) for intracranial aneurysms (IAs).

Objective

To investigate the predisposing factors of stent-induced DPA, as well as its effect on the follow-up of aneurysm embolization.

Methods

Clinical and imaging data were collected from 198 patients (201 aneurysms). Angles of the stent-covered parental artery were measured before treatment and during follow-up. Cases in which the angle had changed more than 5 degrees, were defined as DPA. The related factors of DPA were analyzed. The relation between DPA and follow-up results was also studied.

Results

Univariate analysis revealed that sex (p = 0.014), age (p = 0.017), aneurysm location (p < 0.001), stent type (p < 0.001), aneurysm size (p = 0.019), and pretreatment angle (p = 0.002) correlated with DPA. On the other hand, multivariate analysis revealed that aneurysms located in the anterior communicating artery (ACOA) (OR = 4.559, p = 0.013) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) (OR = 9.474, p < 0.001) were independent predisposing factors for DPA after stent implantation, whereas a braided stent (OR = 0.221, p = 0.030), flow diverter (FD) device (OR = 0.100, p = 0.028) were negative factors to develop DPA. The complete occlusion rate in the DPA group was higher (p = 0.035) than in the non-DPA group.

Conclusions

Aneurysms located in ACOA and MCA are more prone to DPA after SACE than aneurysms at other locations in the anterior circulation, braided stents and FD devices do not predispose to induce vascular deformation. DPA may be beneficial for the long-term cure of IAs after SACE.
