Abstract
In endovascular procedures, inadequate deployment of a flow diverter stent is a highly concerning technical complication that can lead to acute parent vessel occlusion and ischaemic events. This study aimed to assess the off-label use of the Comaneci device in managing technical difficulties associated with flow diversion. We conducted an analysis of all flow diverter procedures documented in our prospectively collected database. Our objective was to identify patients with inadequately deployed implants who underwent Comaneci stent-angioplasty. Both Comaneci 17 and Comaneci 21 devices were utilized to address and remediate technical complications related to stent deployment. We reviewed anatomical features, technical details, intraprocedural complications, as well as clinical and angiographic outcomes. Thirty-one Comaneci devices were employed to remediate 31 inadequately deployed flow diverter stents. Successful resolution of technical complications associated with flow diverter placement was achieved in all attempted cases. No clinically significant complications were attributed to the technique, and no mortality was observed during the study. Technical issues arising from flow diverter stent deployment are formidable complications. Familiarity with appropriate corrective manoeuvres is essential to achieve successful outcomes. The Comaneci device can be safely and effectively incorporated into the range of techniques used to rectify inadequately deployed stents.
