In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of ultrashort echo time magnetic resonance angiography (Silent MRA) for intracranial aneurysms treated with LVIS Jr. stent-assisted coil embolization by a comparison between silent MRA and three-dimensional time of flight MRA (3D TOF-MRA) because the LVIS Jr. stent had higher metal coverage than previous reported stents. In silent MRA, the score of flow in the stents was superior to that of 3D TOF-MRA (p<0.05). Moreover, aneurysm occlusion status was good agreement for DSA. Therefore, silent MRA might be useful for intracranial aneurysms treated with LVIS Jr. stent-assisted coil embolization.
