Stent assisted coiling resulted in a highly significant increase of the inflow angle α from a mean value (SEM) of 119° (±6.5°) pretreatment to 130° (±6.6°) posttreatment (P ≤ .001).

Comparing the diameter of unruptured to ruptured aneurysms, we found a slight trend that did not reach statistical significance towards a greater diameter in the unruptured group compared to the ruptured group.
In our study we could show that SACE did not only lead to effective straightening but also showed a trend towards an increasing diameter of the parent vessel, suggesting not only a bending [ 11 ] but also a radial force exerted by the deployed stent.
