E-131 endovascular reconstruction of intradural vertebral artery fusiform dissecting aneurysms with the pipeline embolization device

ConclusionOur preliminary experience with endoluminal reconstruction of intradural dissecting VA aneurysms with the PED confirms this treatment approach to be feasible and safe with good short-term angiographic and clinical outcomes.Long-term and larger cohort studies will need to provide further information on durable aneurysm obliteration in response to hemodynamic intravascular flow changes and the occurrence of delayed hemorrhage and in-stent thrombosis. The promising results obtained so far, however, appear to support the use of flow diverter in the treatment of dissecting intracranial VA aneurysms; especially in circumstances where maintaining parent artery and side branch patency is required.DisclosuresA.
