A new flow diverter stent for direct treatment of intracranial aneurysm

Journal article

The use of a stand-alone flow diverter (FD) stent has demonstrated itself as an efficacious endovascular approach to intracranial aneurysm treatment. FD stents that are currently available adopt an interwoven braided design. The relatively low radial stiffness intrinsic to this design could cause difficulty in deployment and poor stent–wall apposition, leading to high complication rates. A new FD stent is proposed to overcome the problems of the interwoven FD stents. The new device is manufac...
