Device typeBare-metal intracranial vascular stent: A non-bioabsorbable tubular device typically intended to be implanted into the base or parent artery of an intracranial aneurysm (e.g., wide-neck aneurysm situated at the base of a bifurcation) to facilitate the delivery of embolics to fill the aneurysm, facilitate clotting within the aneurysm by slowing blood flow into it, and/or to provide support for a neurovascular embolization coil placed inside the aneurysm. It is made of uncoated metal [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)]; it does not include a polymer tube (i.e., not a stent-graft). Disposable devices associated with implantation (e.g., balloon catheter) may be packaged with the stent.
