  • Title: Covered stent placement for neurovascular disease.
    Author: Singer RJ, Dake MD, Norbash A, Abe T, Marcellus ML, Marks MP.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1997 Mar; 18(3):507-9. PubMed ID: 9090412.
    Abstract:
    We describe an endovascular technique in which covered stents were used to occlude a parent vessel. In one patient, with a giant paraclinoid aneurysm, a Gortex-covered Palmaz stent was used to occlude the cervical internal carotid artery and to create thrombosis in the aneurysm. In the second patient, with a high-flow vertebrojugular fistula, a hooded stent provided definitive treatment after an attempt to close the fistula by detachable balloon therapy failed. Follow-up of these patients revealed stable stent position and no untoward effects of permanent vessel occlusion.
