This study describes the method and mid- and long-term outcomes of FD treatment of distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms (DACAAs) at two neurointerventional centers, to elucidate this topic and provide more in-depth data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data for all patients at two neurointerventional centers who were treated with FDs for DACAAs in the pericallosal and supracallosal segment of the anterior cerebral artery were retrospectively analyzed.

Three FD models were used, one of which had an anti-thrombotic coating. Two periprocedural complications (5%) occurred but did not cause a change in the mRS. In the long-term follow-up, at 29\u2009months and beyond, 83% of assessable patients showed complete occlusion of the aneurysms without new neurological deficits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>FDs are a safe and effective treatment approach for DACAAs.
