Background: New generations of Woven EndoBridge (WEB) devices (WEB-21 and WEB-17) are available to treat aneurysms with a width <6.5 mm. Limited comparisons between both systems exist in the literature, but mid-term efficacy has not been compared. Our study aimed to compare the indications, feasibility, and safety of both systems and to evaluate their efficacy at mid-term follow-up (12 months).
Methods: Aneurysms treated with WEB-21 and WEB-17 were extracted from a prospective database. Patient and aneurysm characteristics, complications, and anatomical results were analyzed by an interventional neuroradiologist, independent of the procedures.
Results: From June 2015 to November 2019, 87 patients with 92 aneurysms were treated with WEB-21 (38/92, 41.3%) and WEB-17 (54/92, 58.7%). WEB-21 and WEB-17 had high treatment feasibility (97.4% and 94.4%, respectively). A higher percentage of ruptured aneurysms were treated with WEB-17 (9.3%) than with WEB-21 (2.6%; p=0.03). Morbidity and mortality at 1 month were similar in both groups (no morbidity in either group, and mortality 2.7% in the WEB-21 group and 2.0% in the WEB-17 group). The rate of complete and adequate aneurysm occlusion was not significantly higher with the WEB-17 system (59.2% and 95.9%, respectively) compared with the WEB-21 (52.9% and 85.3%, respectively).
Conclusions: This study showed the high feasibility of aneurysm treatment with both the WEB-21 and WEB-17 systems. Indications were relatively similar with both devices except for ruptured aneurysms, which were more frequently treated with the WEB-17 device. Efficacy at 12 months (complete and adequate occlusions) was slightly, but not significantly, better with the WEB-17 device.

Purpose: The WEB 17 system represents the fifth generation of Woven Endobridge (WEB) flow disruptors and features a low profile with fewer wires than its predecessor, the WEB 21. The present study compares the safety and efficacy of the WEB 17 and WEB 21 for the treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms with 4-7 mm device sizes, which were available for both systems.
Methods: Patient and aneurysm characteristics, complications, clinical outcome and angiographic results were retrospectively analysed.

Background: The Woven Endo-Bridge (WEB) device revolutionized the treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms by intrasaccular flow diversion. The latest advancement is the WEB-17 system, offering greater flexibility with fewer wires, enabling treatment of smaller distal aneurysms using smaller microcatheters than the WEB-21 system.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, analyzing data from seven retrospective cohort studies involving 483 aneurysms treated with the WEB-17 device.

Background: The concept of intrasaccular flow diversion using the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device changed the traditional endovascular concept for wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. The latest technical advancement resulted in the WEB 17 system, a softer device composed of fewer wires which enables treatment of smaller more distally located aneurysms by using smaller microcatheters as compared to the WEB 21 system.
Objective: This retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate and compare the angiographic and clinical results achieved with WEB 21 and WEB 17 in aneurysm morphologies eligible for both systems (maximum width 3-6 mm).
