Two adjunctive modifications of CE ‐ balloon remodeling techniques (BRT) and stent‐assisted coiling (SAC) ‐ have been utilized to facilitate occlusion of BTAs of variable anatomies/morphologies, sizes, and rupture status. Stents approved by FDA after 2014 (used in 13 cases) had a greater rate of retreatment (46.2% vs. 10.7%).
