BACKGROUND: Intracranial aneurysm rupture is the main cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage, leading to high disability and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical treatment effects of multiple overlapping stent-assisted coiling for complex intracranial aneurysms.

METHODS: We conducted a randomized, controlled, single-blinded clinical trial among 168 patients diagnosed with complex intracranial aneurysms. Treatment allocation to either single stent (SS) group or multiple stent (MS) group was randomized at 1:1 ratio using a Web-based platform. The O'Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading scale was used to evaluate the degree of aneurysm occlusion after operation and during follow-up. Good aneurysm occlusion was defined as OKM grade C-D. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the neurological status and the clinical outcome of patients.

RESULTS: Efficacy comparative analysis demonstrated that major recurrence of aneurysms was significantly reduced in the MS group (P = 0.012). In addition, the MS group displayed significantly reduced number of patients with mRS between 3 and 6 (P = 0.007) and increased number of patients with mRS between 0 and 1 (P = 0.034). Furthermore, the MS group showed increased percentage of patients with OKM grade C-D (P = 0.041). Compared with the SS group, the MS group exhibited decreased mortality (P = 0.037) and morbidity (P = 0.035).

CONCLUSIONS: Multiple overlapping stent-assisted coiling significantly improved the clinical treatment effects and provided a new method for complex intracranial aneurysms.
