Parent artery occlusion after pipeline embolization device implantation of intracranial saccular and fusiform aneurysms

Conclusions
In this study, the incidence rate of PAO following PED implantation was 2.38% in intracranial saccular and fusiform aneurysms. Aneurysm size and residual presence of poor wall apposition after balloon angioplasty were risk factors for PAO. Further research is required to better understand the mechanisms of PAO.
