Endovascular treatment of cranial aneurysms with the pipeline flow diverting stent: preliminary midterm results

Abstract

The Pipeline flow-diverting stent represents an important advancement in endovascular therapy for cerebral aneurysms. Standard endovascular techniques are typically not suitable for these types of aneurysms. The device targets primary parent vessel reconstruction rather than endosaccular occlusion to achieve exclusion of the aneurysm and maintain a relatively high occlusion rate at six months.
