Ultrasonographic and angiographic follow-up for aneurysms with stent-assisted coiling.

Animal n°	Size	Immed after		At 1 month intervention		At 3 months		At 6 months		Macroscopy at sacrifice
		IFV	config	IFV	config	IFV	config	IFV	config
1 (sacrificed at 1 year)	6.3×7.8	↓	Partially opacified	0	occluded	0	Coil ball shrunken, "healing line" emerged	0	healing line became more evident	The whole stent was covered by thin, smooth, glossy and semitransparent neointima formation at 1 year
2 (sacrificed at 1 year)	5.8×6.5	↓	Partially opacified	0	occluded	0	Same as case1	0	Same as case1	The same as case 1 at 1 year
3 (sacrificed at 2 days)	5.8×5.9	↓	Partially opacified							The aneurysm lumen was full of thrombus. No visible thrombus or tissue adhering to stent wall
4 (sacrificed at 1 month)	6.9×6.3	↓	Partially opacified	0	occluded					Thrombosis within the aneurysm. The neck was covered by neointima except several small pores among the stent and the coil still open.
5 (sacrificed at 1 month)	5.0×5.3	↓	Partially opacified	0	occluded					The same as case 4
6 (sacrificed at 2 days)	5.3×6.2	↓	Partially opacified							The aneurysm lumen was full of thrombus
7 (sacrificed at 1 month)	5.0×6.4	↓	Partially opacified	0	occluded					The same as case4
8 (sacrificed at 1 month)	6.0×6.7	↓	Partially opacified	0	occluded					The same as case 4
