This complaint is from a literature source.As reported in the literature publication entitled, ¿spontaneous delayed proximal migration of enterprise stent after staged treatment of wide necked basilar aneurysm: technical case report ¿ a (b)(6) year-old female patient with a large unruptured wide- necked basilar aneurysm and small unruptured right superior cerebellar and left anterior cerebral artery aneurysms underwent a two-stage enterprise stent assisted coil-embolization has experience stent migration.The stent has migrated proximally with all 4 distal tines of the stent within the neck of the aneurysm, and the proximal tines nearing the vertebral basilar junction.The decision was made to proceed with coil embolization as the stent position appeared to be in the ¿waffle cone¿ configuration.The aneurysm was then catheterized with a prowler-14 microcatheter (cordis neurovascular, inc.) over a synchro 2 soft guidewire.After this, cordis orbit coils (cordis neurovascular, inc.) were deployed into the aneurysm.The coil loops approached the left and right pca origins; however, excellent flow remained in these vessels.The aneurysm demonstrated no evidence of extravasation, and there was no evidence of distal branch occlusion on follow- up angiographic images.However, there was remaining flow in the aneurysm in the most dependent portion of the dome region.No additional coils were placed because of the thrombotic event.The intravenous reopro infusion was maintained overnight.The patient was then awakened from the general anesthetic and had no evidence of iatrogenic neurological deficit.Aim of this study: to demonstrate a unique technical issue with a relatively newly released intravascular stent used for adjunctive treatment of wide- necked cerebral aneurysms.
