Article Synopsis
- Intracranial aneurysms are rare in children, making up less than 5% of cases, and their unique shape poses challenges for treatment, particularly with the growing use of flow-diverter devices like the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using data from Medline, Embase, and Web of Science, focusing on studies with at least three pediatric patients to evaluate outcomes such as occlusion rates, complications, and mortality.
- The analysis included 80 patients and showed a high immediate occlusion rate of 90%, favorable clinical outcomes in 92% of cases, and a low complication rate of 3%, indicating that flow-diverter
