Abstract 80: Predictors of Procedural Outcome after Surface-Modified Flow Diverter Treatment for Intracranial Aneurysms: An Update from the INSPIRE-A Registry

Stroke Journal

Results are adjudicated by an independent Imaging Core Laboratory and a Clinical Events Committee. Most frequently, aneurysms were in the anterior circulation (89.8 %, 706) with highest rates of ICA-Aneurysms (75.3%, 592) in the C6 (52.7%, 312/592). Fusiform morphology was associated with in-stent stenosis. 2.56; p=0.076).

This indicates that restoring normal blood circulation as quickly as possible will result in less damage. Allow the chest to rise between each compression to ensure proper circulation fully. Then angioplasty is performed, and a medical device called a stent (metallic scaffold) is deployed in the artery to open the blood flow.
