Y-Stenting for Bifurcation Aneurysm Coil Embolization: What is the Risk?

Y-Stenting for Bifurcation Aneurysm Coil Embolization: What is the Risk? Stroke Res Treat. 2014;2014:762389 Authors: Spiotta AM, Lena J, Chaudry MI, Turner RD, Turk AS Abstract The use of two stents in a "Y" configuration (Y-stenting) to assist with coil embolization of complex bifurcation aneurysms has been accepted as an alternative to clip reconstruction of a select subset of challenging aneurysms. We review the risks associated with Y-stenting, including its procedural complication rates, angiographic occlusion rates, rerupture, and retreatment rates. PMID: 25120940 [PubMed]
