BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Treatment of intracranial bifurcation aneurysms with flow-diverter stents can lead to caliber changes of the distal vessels in a subacute phase. This study aims to evaluate whether local anatomy and flow disruption induced by flow-diverter stents are associated with vessel caliber changes in intracranial bifurcations.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Radiologic images and demographic data were acquired for 25 patients with bifurcation aneurysms treated with flow-diverter stents. Whisker plots and Mann-Whitney rank sum tests were used to evaluate if anatomic data and caliber changes could be linked. Symmetry/asymmetry were defined as diameter ratio 1 = symmetric and diameter ratio
