In order to improve treatment outcomes in these difficult cases, the use of stent‐assisted embolization has been attempted in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Thromboembolic complications were observed in one patient, with the clinical outcome of death due to basilar stent thrombosis.

If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Since the FFR wire can be used for guiding balloon catheters and stents, it is easy to make post procedure measurements without any additional effort. Routine FFR measurement probably lead to more judicious use of stents and improved outcomes.
