Brazilian FRED Registry: A Prospective Multicenter Study for Brain Aneurysm Treatment--The BRED Study [INTERVENTIONAL]
CONCLUSIONS:
As reported previously, the FRED has proved to be a safe and effective tool, with high occlusion rates. The design of the stent makes it more difficult to perform balloon angioplasty compared with similar devices. A branch arising from the aneurysm sac was found to be a predictor of nonocclusion at 12 months, though larger series are needed to estimate the magnitude of the association.
