Abstract
Aim: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of the Enterprise 2 (E2) stent versus the Enterprise 1 (E1) stent in treating ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) in China. Materials & methods: The authors conducted an electronic medical record analysis for patients with RIAs who underwent E1/E2 deployment. The main outcomes were immediate complete occlusion (ICO), patient functional outcomes, complications and aneurysm recurrence. Results: Stent deployment was successful in all patients (E2: 90; E1: 270). ICO and patients with good functional outcomes at discharge were similar between E2 and E1 (80.0% vs 75.1% and 78.7% vs 81.1%, respectively). The E2 group had a significantly lower complication rate compared with the E1 group (7.8% vs 16.4%; odds ratio: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.15-0.91; p=0.031). By 6 months post-discharge, the two groups had comparable patient functional outcomes and aneurysm recurrence (E2 vs E1: 80.2% vs 81.9% and 13.3% vs 14.9%). Conclusion: Compared with the E1 stent, the E2 stent had similar effectiveness but a lower complication risk in treating RIAs.
