Flow diversion for the management of posterior circulation's intracranial aneurysms

CNS Neurol Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Jun 26. doi: 10.2174/1871527322666230626110934. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe endovascular treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms, although challenging, has been well-established due to various factors that limit the surgical approach in most cases. Flow diversion has also been utilized in the treatment of such aneurysms, although its effectiveness and safety still require evaluation. Numerous studies have examined the outcomes and complication rates in patients treated with FD, resulting in varying findings. This review aimed to summarize the most recent literature concerning the effectiveness of flow diversion devices in posterior circulation aneurysms. Additionally, it highlights reports that compare results in the posterior versus anterior circulation, as well as flow diversion versus stent-assisted coiling. .PMID:37365790 | DOI:10.2174/1871527322666230626110934
