Stent-assisted coil embolization has been recently accepted as a treatment option for wide-neck or complex cerebral aneurysms. Delayed in-stent occlusion is described due to stent-related changes in vascular geometry. A 66-year-old man underwent stent-assisted coil embolization for an unruptured aneurysm of the vertebral artery. The treatment was successfully performed using the Enterprise stent. Follow-up angiography at 6 months showed asymptomatic in-stent occlusion. Three-dimensional analysis of the vascular geometry revealed that the left vertebral artery was straightened by 40 degrees due to the stent placement. Such straightening of the vessel presumably caused kinking and occlusion of the vessel. Stent-related changes in vascular geometry may cause kinking of a vessel and result in occlusion after the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Pre-treatment strategy may avoid this risk.
