Is The Stent-Assisted Coiling Still Valid Today?: Longterm Occlusion Rate Of The Jailing Technique

Background: Intracranial aneurysms are a focal, pathological dilatation in most cerebral arteries affecting 3% to 5% of the world’s population. Rupture of these usually occurs without any predictive signs, with death occurring in 1 in 4 due to subarachnoid hemorrhage. Mortality of those who receive medical attention is 22% to 42%, while 63% of those who survive manage to resume their basic daily activities. Methods: Observational, descriptive, analytical, retrospective cohort study, to determine the degree of long-term occlusion of stent-assisted coiling in patients with intracranial aneurysms. Results: The mean age was 48, and the most frequent year range was from 30-39, with a percentage of 26.47%. The most prevalent gender was female with 74%. Long-term follow-up showed that treatment with the jailing technique resulted in complete aneurysm occlusion (RaymondRoy I) in 82.35% of cases. Conclusion: Of the patients treated by the jailing technique, it was observed that it is an effective method for long-term occlusion of small and medium aneurysms. Complications were very low concerning endovascular treatment, as well as complications related to aneurysmal pathology.
