We present a case of an adult patient with a large symptomatic fusiform basilar artery aneurysm. This video demonstrates the ease of deploying the new Pipeline™ Vantage Flow Diverter compared to the Flex model in the same vessel. The Flex and Vantage have different deployment techniques-as using the Flex maneuvering technique on the Vantage may damage the braid.

- The Pipeline Vantage embolization device is a new fourth-generation tool designed to treat intracranial aneurysms, and this study evaluates its safety and effectiveness.
- The research involved 12 patients, primarily women, with a variety of aneurysm types, and demonstrated a 100% success rate in device deployment without intraoperative complications.
- One postprocedural complication occurred, and the findings represent the first US analysis of this device's use in patients with intracranial aneurysms, highlighting its potential for treating both ruptured and unruptured cases.
Endovascular thrombectomy for distal medium vessel occlusions: A literature review.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
January 2025
Background: There is a lack of substantial evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy in treating distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs).
Objective: To summarize the current evidence regarding endovascular thrombectomy for DMVOs.
Methods: We conducted a narrative review of key articles related to the diagnosis and management of DMVOs.
Objectives: The primary aim of this research is to uncover the underlying factors that shape hospital selection criteria among individuals in Lebanon.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: A survey was circulated across social media platforms and messaging applications in Lebanon from February to May 2023.
