Modifying Flow in the ICA Bifurcation: Pipeline Deployment from the Supraclinoid ICA Extending into the M1 Segment—Clinical and Anatomic Results

Abstract

We found that deployment of a Pipeline Embolization Device from the distal supraclinoid ICA to the M1 may result in reversal of flow in the anterior cerebral artery/anterior communicating artery complex and regression of the ipsilateral A1. Preoperative anatomic quantitation and sizing of the Pipeline Embolization Device may predict flow modification results.
