The stent my doc put in was 25+ mm long. When I saw it on the XRay I was really surprised how long it was. What he put in was a lot longer than I see in the videos. The “hole” where my aneurysm was at most 3 mm. But the stent is like 25 mm long. Here is a link to my story:
17 mm Aneurysm in Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (AICA) Treated Endovascularly by Flow Diverter 10/13/22 - #23 by Judi. This goes to my six month follow up. I have pictures in there where you can see how long it was. So it seems like I have room for shrinking.
I guess a length of this kind must depend one where your aneurysm is. There are lots of places where there wouldn’t bee that much artery to work with.
