Intracranial aneurysm (IA) treatment through hemodynamic modification with novel stent designs is a burgeoning area of research. We present a feasibility study for a new low-porosity patch-containing stent designed to treat intracranial aneurysms. The device is deployed so the patch covers the aneurysm neck ensuring strong flow diversion away from the aneurysm while keeping a low probability of occlusion of perforating vessels.
