Remodeling technique and stenting represent important options for intracranial aneurysm treatment, and they sometimes need to be combined. The technology of remodeling balloons and stents has recently evolved with the development of the double-lumen remodeling balloon (Scepter and Ascent) and the low-profile stent (LVIS Jr). This report describes our initial experience with and feasibility of the deployment of the low-profile stent through the balloon's internal guidewire lumen, thereby reducing the number of manoeuvres by combining remodeling and stenting.
