OBJECTIVE: The low-profile Acandis Acclino flex plus (AFP) is a fourth-generation laser-cut microstent with a flexible structure designed for the treatment of a wide variety of aneurysms. We report our single-center experience with this device in the treatment of complex aneurysms. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients were treated with the Acclino flex plus for 28 aneurysms. Aneurysm characteristics, technical success, complications, clinical outcome, and angiographic results were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The cohort included 8 unruptured untreated aneurysms, 9 unruptured recurrent aneurysms, and 12 ruptured aneurysms with aneurysm diameters ranging from 3 to 23â
mm. The anterior communicating artery was the most common location (52%). Stent deployment was successful in 28 cases (97%) with an average of 1.3 stents per aneurysm. The overall procedural complication rate was 17%, including 2 (6.8%) major clinical events (one ischaemic stroke and one aneurysm perforation) and one (3.4%) minor clinical event (one seizure). Angiographic results of 23 aneurysms at a mean of 6 months were complete occlusion in 74%, neck remnants in 13% and aneurysm remnants in 13%. Three patients were retreated. CONCLUSIONS: Given the complexity of the aneurysms, the use of the Acclino flex plus was feasible and associated with a favourable safety and efficacy profile. Further studies are needed to evaluate Acclino flex plus in other aneurysm subsets and to define its role in endovascular aneurysm treatment.
