The development of stent-assisted coiling has allowed for the endovascular treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. A variety of options exist, and little is known about the optimal stent configuration in this setting. We report a large multicenter experience of stent-assisted coiling of bifurcations aneurysms using a single stent, with attention to factors predisposing to aneurysm recanalization. ⋯ The treatment of bifurcation aneurysm using single stent technique for stent-assisted coiling is safe and effective. Complete occlusion or remnant neck occlusion was achieved in 90.6% of cases. Class III aneurysms can be effectively treated using a single stent, while class I may require Y-stent technique.
