Background: Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on vessel wall imaging (VWI) scans is a robust biomarker for aneurysmal vulnerability. This study aimed to explore the association of different sleep patterns with AWE and other vulnerability features.
Methods: Patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms were prospectively recruited.
Flow-diverter devices (FDs) are effective in treating intracranial aneurysms (IAs) but carry substantial periprocedural risks, particularly ischemic complications. This study aimed to determine if elevated Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) can independently predict these risks and assess the impact of age and dual antiplatelet therapy on this association. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients treated with FDs between February 2016 and August 2023, using blood samples taken within six days before surgery to calculate SII.

- Flow diverter devices (FDs) like the Pipeline (PED) and Tubridge (TED) are used to treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), but studies directly comparing them are limited.
- This analysis matched patients treated with either device based on various factors to ensure a fair comparison of outcomes and complications, revealing no significant differences in perioperative issues or short-term results.
- However, a slight trend suggested that PED may lead to better complete occlusion rates, indicating a need for further research on long-term efficacy.
