Endovascular treatment with the Enterprise stent versus the Neuroform or Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support stent for unruptured aneurysms.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To compare outcomes among patients undergoing endovascular treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) with the Enterprise stent versus the Neuroform or Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) stent. Patients & methods: Patients undergoing endovascular procedure for UIA were classified into Enterprise stent and Neuroform or LVIS stent group. Groups were propensity-score matched and generalized estimating equations were used for outcomes assessment. Results: There were no significant between-group differences in length of stay or mortality. The Enterprise group had significantly lower odds of UIA-related inpatient readmissions versus the Neuroform/LVIS group (odds ratio 0.62; 95% CI 0.42-0.91). Conclusion: Enterprise stent use was associated with significantly lower readmissions versus competitor stent, with no difference in other study outcomes.
