The Use of Flow Diversion for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: Expansion of Indications

Abstract: Flow diversion is a novel concept for treating anatomically challenging intracranial aneurysms and has gained increasing acceptance. Flow diverter stents, such as the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) (ev3-Covidien, Irvine, CA, USA), are approved for treating unruptured large and giant aneurysms from the internal carotid artery between the superior hypophyseal and cavernous segments. However, technological advances and recent clinical results suggest that flow diversion can be safely and effectively used in t… Show more

“…In particular, flow diverter devices (FDDs) have shown huge advantages in the treatment of complex aneurysms, such as wide-necked, large or fusiform aneurysms, which are otherwise difficult to treat by conventional endovascular or surgical means 2 3. Owing to the high occlusion rates and acceptable morbidity rates of FDDs,4 the indication for their use is continuously expanding 5…”

“…Furthermore, the delivery of the device into the relatively small-caliber vessels of the distal circulation was considered technically difficult. 10 However, clinical experience with such potential complications has rarely been reported. [11][12][13][14][15][16] Here, we report on our multicenter experience of the FRED Jr flow diverter endovascular treatment of aneurysms in small cerebral vessels and present the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of this treatment.…”

“…Although the indications for use of FDs are still not completely established, based on the efficacy obtained in complex aneurysms, there is growing interest and data supporting the safety and efficacy of FD treatment in an ‘off-label’ manner for small anterior circulation aneurysms as well as for selected cases of posterior circulation aneurysms 14 15. Recent publications suggest that use of the FD can be expanded beyond its initial indication for large and giant aneurysms.…”
