Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using the Derivo Embolization Device: a multicenter experience.

Background: Flow diversion is the first-line treatment for several types of intracranial aneurysms. We report on a large series of patients treated with the Derivo Embolization Device who underwent a 1-year angiographic control follow-up.

Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, designed to evaluate the clinical and angiographic results of treatment of intracranial aneurysms with the Derivo Flow Diverter.

Safety and Effectiveness of the Pipeline Flex Embolization Device With Shield Technology for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: Midterm Results From a Multicenter Study.

Background: The safety and efficacy of the first generation of the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED; Medtronic Inc) have been proven in large case series. Ischemic events are one of the most common complications following treatment of aneurysms with flow diverters. The new PED Flex with Shield technology (PED Shield; Medtronic Inc) was introduced to minimize the rate of complications.

Dissecting spinal aneurysms: conservative management as a therapeutic option.

Objective: Isolated dissecting spinal aneurysms are rare lesions that pose a therapeutic challenge. We report our experience in the management of four patients with dissecting spinal aneurysms.

Methods: After institutional review board approval was obtained, the neurointerventional databases of the two participating institutions were retrospectively reviewed.

Web Vessels: Literature Review and Neurointerventional Management.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe 27 patients with 32 web vessels (WVs) from our practice and provide a review of the literature regarding imaging diagnostics, clinical presentation, and treatment of WVs.

Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed using combinations of the following terms: "stroke in young adults," "web," "recurrent stroke," "diaphragm-like," "atypical fibromuscular hyperplasia," "atypical fibromuscular dysplasia," "septal fibromuscular dysplasia," "septa," "diaphragms," "pseudovalvular folds," and "carotid diaphragm." Our series was added in this review.
