Dataset on flow diversion procedures performed with the Pipeline Embolization Device, Pipeline Flex, and Surpass Streamline for intracranial aneurysms.

Flow diversion is an evolving endovascular modality for treating intracranial aneurysms. Although rare, serious adverse events following flow diversion may include ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, or delayed rupture of the treated aneurysm. This dataset describes 141 flow diversion procedures performed with the Pipeline Embolization Device, Pipeline Flex, or Surpass Streamline on 126 subjects with intracranial aneurysms [1]. The retrospective data were collected from electronic medical records at two large tertiary centers. Baseline patient data included age, sex, and medical comorbidities. The dataset also describes aneurysm characteristics including laterality, anatomic location, morphology, dome height, and neck width. In addition, digital subtraction images showing the internal carotid artery tortuosity were included for aneurysms in the anterior cerebral circulation [2]. Procedural data include case duration, radiation exposure, number of flow diverters deployed, and complications encountered during deployment. In addition, data related to the duration of hospitalization and postoperative adverse events are included. Finally, time to follow up and rates of total aneurysm obliteration at first and second postoperative visits are included. This data is propensity score matching are included. This data is presented as a starting point for future prospective comparisons in the safety and efficacy of flow diverters as more devices become approved and commercially available.
