OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new noncompletely occlusive net-assisted remodeling technique in which the Cascade net device is used for temporary bridging of intracranial aneurysms.

Between July 2018 and May 2019, patients underwent coil embolization with the Cascade net device within 4 centers in Europe. Analysis of angiographic (modified Raymond-Roy classification [MRRC]) and clinical outcomes data was conducted immediately following treatment and at the 6-month follow-up.

RESULTS

Fifteen patients were included in the study (mean age 58 ± 13 years, 11/15 [73.3%] female). Ten patients had unruptured aneurysms, and 5 presented with ruptured aneurysms with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. The mean aneurysm dome length was 6.27 ± 2.33 mm and the mean neck width was 3.64 ± 1.19 mm. Immediately postprocedure, MRRC type I (complete obliteration) was achieved in 11 patients (73.3%), whereas a type II (residual neck) was achieved in 4 patients (26.7%). Follow-up examination was performed in 7/15 patients and showed stabilization of aneurysm closure with no thromboembolic complications and only 1 patient with an increased MRRC score (from I to II) due to coil compression.

CONCLUSIONS

Initial experience shows that the use of a new noncompletely occlusive net-assisted remodeling technique with the Cascade net device may be safe and effective for endovascular coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms.

OBJECTIVE

Coverage of the anterior spinal artery (ASA) ostia is a source of considerable consternation regarding flow diversion (FD) in vertebral artery (VA) aneurysms due to cord supply. The authors sought to assess the association between coverage of the ASA, posterior spinal artery (PSA), or lateral spinal artery (LSA) ostia when placing flow diverters in distal VAs and clinical outcomes, with emphasis on cord infarction.

A multicenter retrospective study of 7 institutions in which VA aneurysms were treated with FD between 2011 and 2019 was performed. The authors evaluated the risk of ASA and PSA/LSA occlusion, associated thromboembolic complication, complications overall, aneurysm occlusion status, and functional outcome.

RESULTS

Sixty patients with 63 VA and posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms treated with FD were identified. The median aneurysm diameter was 7 mm and fusiform type was the commonest morphology (42.9%). During a procedure, 1 (61.7%) or 2 (33.3%) flow diverters were placed. Complete occlusion was achieved in 71.9%. Symptomatic thromboembolic complications occurred in 7.4% of cases and intracranial hemorrhage in 10.0% of cases. The ASA and PSA/LSA were identified in 51 (80.9%) and 35 (55.6%) complications and covered by the flow diverter in 29 (56.9%) and 13 (37.1%) of the procedures, respectively. Patency after flow diverter coverage on last follow-up was 89.2% for ASA and 100% for PSA/LSA, not significantly different between covered and noncovered groups (p = 0.5 and p > 0.99, respectively). No complications arose from coverage.

CONCLUSIONS

FD aneurysm treatment in the posterior circulation with coverage of ASA or PSA/LSA was not associated with higher rates of occlusion of these branches or any instances of cord infarction.

OBJECTIVE

The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is an intrasaccular flow disruptor designed for wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. These aneurysms may require the use of a concomitant stent. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing stent-assisted WEB treatment. In addition, the authors also sought to determine the predictors of a concomitant stent in aneurysms treated with the WEB device.

开云体育世界杯赔率

The data for this study were taken from the WorldWideWEB Consortium, an international multicenter cohort including patients treated with the WEB device. Aneurysms were classified into two groups based on treatment: stent-assisted WEB and WEB device alone. The authors compared clinical and radiological outcomes of both groups. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors that predispose to stent use.

RESULTS

The study included 691 intracranial aneurysms (31 with stents and 660 without stents) treated with the WEB device. The adequate occlusion status did not differ between the two groups at the latest follow-up (83.3% vs 85.6%, p = 0.915). Patients who underwent stenting had more thromboembolic (32.3% vs 6.5%, p < 0.001) and procedural (16.1% vs 3.0%, p < 0.001) complications. Aneurysms treated with a concomitant stent had wider necks, greater heights, and lower dome-to-neck ratios. Increasing neck size was the only significant predictor for stent use.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates that there is no difference in the degree of aneurysm occlusion between the two groups; however, complications were more frequent in the stent group. In addition, a wider aneurysm neck predisposes to stent assistance in WEB-treated aneurysms.
