Article Abstract
Endosaccular flow disruption is an innovative method of treating wide-necked complex aneurysms. Currently four types of devices have obtained the CE mark for use within Europe. These are the Woven EndoBridge device (WEB), the Luna Aneurysm Embolization System, the Medina Embolic Device (Medtronic), and the Contour Neurovascular System. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of these devices and to summarize the evidence in the literature pertaining to the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with them.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment of unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms in a single-center series.
Materials And Methods: The electronic medical records of patients who underwent endovascular treatment for unruptured pancreatic arcade aneurysms between 2011 and 2022 at our tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed. The presence of celiac artery stenosis/occlusion; aneurysm number, location, and size; endovascular technique; procedure-related complication incidence; and clinical outcomes were assessed.

Flow diversion (FD) has revolutionized the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Since the introduction of the Pipeline Embolization Device, there has been a significant shift in the management of cerebral aneurysms, with increasing emphasis being placed on use of endoluminal reconstruction as a means of long-term, durable treatment of aneurysms. Increasingly, FD stents are being used as primary treatment for aneurysms, including those that present with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Contour (Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI) is a relatively new endosaccular device for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.1 2 Its unique cup-like shape permits treatment of most lesions, including wide-necked, irregular, and shallowed-shaped aneurysms. The sizing of the device only requires two parameters: neck size and equatorial plane (width).

Background: The pipeline embolization device (PED) is the most common flow diverter device in the world. To date, there have been no reports of treatment outcomes specific to intradural internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms. The safety and efficacy of the PED treatments for intradural ICA aneurysms are reported.

Background: The Contour Neurovascular System is a novel device designed to treat intracranial aneurysms by intrasaccular flow disruption. We report our experience and mid-term follow-up in a series of patients treated with the Contour.
Methods: The patients were divided into an intention to treat and a per protocol population, the latter defined by the successful implantation of the Contour device.
