    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: There is no previous reports available on stent-assisted coiling of ruptured multiple intracranial aneurysms using single Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) in one stage. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy and feasibility of using single LVIS to bridge multiple intracranial aneurysms in one stage. METHODS: From April 2014 to August 2016, 24 patients treated with single LVIS to bridge 2 aneurysms in one stage were reviewed. The aneurysm morphology, clinical outcome, angiographic results, progressive occlusion, recurrence, and procedure-related complications were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: In the present study, middle term clinical outcome showed that 9 patients were had a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0, 11 patients had mRS 1, and 4 patients had mRS 2. A total of 20 patients (83.3%) achieved a good outcome, 4 patients (16.7%) had poor outcomes, and 7 of 18 patients (38.9%) displayed improved clinical neurologic status in long-term follow-up. Immediate angiographic results postprocedure showed Raymond Scale (RS) I in 33 aneurysms (68.8%), RS II in 11 aneurysms (22.9%), and RS III in 4 aneurysms (8.3%). The angiographic follow-up results showed RS I in 41 aneurysms (85.4%), RS II in 5 aneurysms (10.4%), and RS III in 2 aneurysms (4.2%). Of 15 incomplete occlusion aneurysms postprocedure, 10 aneurysms (66.7%) achieved to progressed occlusion on follow-up imaging, and no recanalization or mortality occurred in this group. CONCLUSIONS: Single LVIS bridging wide-neck ruptured multiple intracranial aneurysms was effective and feasible in one stage. However, the procedure-related complications should be emphasized and long-term follow-up requires further evaluation.
