Use of Interventional Neuroradiology Devices (Solitaire AB and Cascade Net) in the Treatment of Complex Renal Aneurysms through Stent-Assisted Coil Embolisation

Abstract

Introduction: The risk of rupture of true renal artery aneurysms is low but when they are bigger than 2 - 2.5 cm it increases significantly, making treatment essential. The need to use alternatives to conventional techniques in order to avoid predictable complications as coil migration is mandatory. Discussion: Routinely-used techniques in interventional neuroradiology such as flow diverters or those assisted with an occlusion balloon or stent have are su itable alternatives for complex aneurysms. Conclusion: Interventional neuroradiology devices such as the Cascade Net stent (Perflow Medical and Grupo Logsa) and Solitaire AB stent retriever (Medtronic) are valid and safe options . We describe the technique of such devices.
