Summary of the results
| Deployment | Configuration | Strut Characteristics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neuroform2 | Asymmetric | Increased opening of stent cells with decreasing angle | Inward and outward prolapse of the stent struts starting at 110° curve |
| Neuroform-Treo | Asymmetric | Increased cell opening of the stent with decreasing angle (less than NF2) | Less outward prolapse but more inward prolapse of the struts than NF2 with decreasing angles, starting at 75° |
| Loss of normal strut configuration starting at 110° curve | |||
| Enterprise | Symmetric | Change of shape from round to oval | Increasing trend to flatten and to kink at the concavity with increasing size of the “aneurysm neck” |
| Reduction of the stent diameter at the midsection starting at 90° | |||
| LEO | Symmetric | Flattening of the midsection of the stent starting at 90° | Less tendency to kink and flatten than Enterprise |
| Flattening and narrowing of the distal and proximal ends starting at 115° | Inward crimping of proximal and distal ends with lumen narrowing |
