Endovascular stents have been widely used in intracranial aneurysm embolization. In this work, we compared the safety and long-term efficacy of stent-assisted coiling with those of conventional coiling for small posterior communicating artery aneurysms, aiming at a better understanding of the related safety and efficacy profiles.Between January 2008 and December 2011, 114 small PcomA aneurysms (defined as 3mm≤maximum diameter<10mm in this study) in 108 patients were treated by endovascular treatment in our department. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, angiographic results (initial and follow-up), and procedural complications were assessed.Embolization was successfully performed in all the patients. Complications occurred in 7.4
