The stent-assisted coil-jailing technique for very small intracranial aneurysm treatment

Abstract

The stent-assisted coil-jailing technique was initially introduced as an effective and secure method in the treatment of large wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Later on, this technique has proved its efficiency in the safety and optimal treatment of very small aneurysms. In this article, we will present the successful treatment of a very small middle cerebral artery aneurysm using the stent-assisted coil-jailing technique and review the current trends in this type of treatment.
