E-061 Safety and efficacy of the pipeline embolization device for treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms
Conclusion
The PED is a safe and effective treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, with high medium-term complete aneurysm occlusion rates, low re-treatment rates, and a low rate of major treatment-related complications. The risk of post-operative aneurysm re-rupture may be minimized by adjunctive use of coils and subacute PED embolization whenever possible.
