Canadian Registry of LVIS Jr for Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms (CaRLA)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Stents reduce the rate of angiographic recurrence of intracranial aneurysms. The newest stent for intracranial use is the Low-profile Visible Intraluminal Support device (LVIS Jr). OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of the new stent in a multicenter retrospective registry. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Centers across Canada using LVIS Jr were contacted and asked to participate in a retrospective registry of consecutive patients treated with LVIS Jr for intracranial aneurysms between January 2013 and July 2015. RESULTS: A total of 102 patients, with saccular aneurysms in 100 patients (72 women; age range 21-78 years; mean 56.0 years; median 57.5 years) were treated with a LVIS Jr stent. The mean maximum diameter of the dome and neck of the aneurysm and dome to neck ratios were 8.3 mm±7.7 mm, 4.4 mm±1.9 mm, and 1.86±1.22, respectively. Angiographic complications arose in 23 patients, clinical complications in 9 patients, and only 3% of permanent neurological deficits occurred. Death occurred in 1 patient, unrelated to the stent. The ruptured status of the aneurysms (OR=3.29; p=0.046) and use of LVIS Jr for bailout (OR=2.54; p=0.053) showed a trend towards significant association with higher angiographic complications. At the last available follow-up, 68 class I, 20 class II, and 12 class III results were seen. CONCLUSIONS: The LVIS Jr stent is a safe and effective device for stent-assisted coiling, with 3% permanent neurological complications. Stent-assisted coiling continues to be technically challenging in cases of ruptured aneurysms and bailout situations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
