Abstract:Objective To compare the efficacy and prognosis of stent and EP stent assisted embolization for communicating wide-neck aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 84 patients with posterior communicating wide-neck aneurysms treated in South Taihu Hospital Affiliated to Huzhou College from September 2019 to December 2022 were collected for prospective analysis. According to the random number table method, they were divided into two LVIS group (LVIS stent) and EP group (EP stent), with 42 cases in each group. The clinical efficacy, biomarker levels, incidence of complications, and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results After six months of follow-up, the clinical effect of EP group was better than that of LVIS group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the two groups (P>0.05). 24 h after operation, the levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in two groups were lower than those before operation, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum VEGF and MMP-9 levels between the two groups 24 h after operation (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and clinical prognosis between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion LVIS stents and EP stents have similar therapeutic and prognostic effects in assisting embolization of wide-neck aneurysms, with high safety, and stents can be selected according to specific needs in clinical practice.
