High-Resolution C-arm Computed Tomography for Evaluation of Stent Expansion and Apposition after Intracranial Stent Implantation.
Article in Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveC-arm computed tomography (CT) has always played an important role in neurointerventional surgery, in this study, we aimed to investigate the value of high-resolution C-arm CT in evaluating stent expansion and apposition in carotid arteries of Guangxi Bama piglets.
methodsTwenty-four stents were implanted in the carotid arteries of 24 Guangxi Bama piglets. High-resolution C-arm CT was performed to evaluate stent expansion and the quality of processed images, followed by three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA). The DSA and high-resolution C-arm CT images were transmitted to a postprocessing workstation for image reconstruction (dual-volume reconstruction method). High-resolution C-arm CT reconstructed images after diluted contrast agent injection (diluted contrast method) were also acquired. In addition to assessing radiation exposure, the accuracy of stent apposition assessment by the two methods was compared, using intravascular ultrasound as the reference standard. Adverse events during and within 24 hours after the procedure were recorded.
resultsOne stent was incompletely expanded, while the remaining 23 stents were fully expanded without disruption. The image quality of high-resolution CT was grade I in most cases (n=22/24). Both methods clearly demonstrated stent apposition with a consistency of 100%. However, the dual-volume reconstruction method was associated with significantly higher radiation exposure (p<0.001). Mild-tomoderate vasospasm occurred in four piglets when the diluted contrast method was used. Overall, no serious complications occurred in this study.
conclusionHigh-resolution C-arm CT enables clear microstructure visualization and can be used in combination with different postprocessing techniques to accurately assess the apposition of intracranial stents.
