AI Article Synopsis
- Follow-up imaging for cerebral aneurysms treated with flow diverters is crucial, but traditional methods like MRI and digital subtraction angiography have limitations.
- Recent advancements in ultra-high-resolution CT and a technique called model-based iterative reconstruction may offer a more effective alternative for monitoring these patients.
- The text presents a case study demonstrating the application of this new imaging method after flow diverter treatment.
Article Abstract
Follow-up examinations using magnetic resonance imaging or digital subtraction angiography are mandatory after flow diverter treatment of cerebral aneurysms. However, flow diverter features metal artifacts on magnetic resonance imaging and ischemic complications with digital subtraction angiography. Ultra-high-resolution computed tomography systems have recently become available in clinical practice. The combined use of ultra-high-resolution computed tomography and a reconstruction technique called model-based iterative reconstruction is expected to replace follow-up magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography of flow diverter placement. Here, we report a case of ultra-high-resolution computed tomography with model-based iterative reconstruction after flow diverter treatment.

We present a case of an adult patient with a large symptomatic fusiform basilar artery aneurysm. This video demonstrates the ease of deploying the new Pipeline™ Vantage Flow Diverter compared to the Flex model in the same vessel. The Flex and Vantage have different deployment techniques-as using the Flex maneuvering technique on the Vantage may damage the braid.

Institute of Neurointervention, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria.
Background And Purpose: This study evaluates the early clinical performance of the new Artisse Intrasaccular Device (Artisse ISD), a self-expandable intrasaccular flow diverter, for treating wide-necked aneurysms (WNAs). We report initial safety and efficacy outcomes in the first cohort of patients treated with this novel device.
Methods: Prospective clinical and radiological data were collected for all patients treated with the Artisse ISD at three Austrian neurovascular centers from July 2023 to August 2024.

Department of Neurosurgery, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Medicine and Engineering, University of Yamanashi, Chuo, Japan.
Background: Flow diverters (FDs) have been introduced for the management of large or giant cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCAs) in addition to conventional modalities, dramatically changing treatment strategies. The aim of this study was to examine the management of unruptured large/giant CCAs in Japan when FDs were being introduced using a nationwide survey.
Methods: 540 unruptured large/giant CCAs treated at neurosurgical teaching departments in Japan between 2012 and 2016 were retrospectively studied.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the indications and therapeutic efficacy of flow-diverting stents (FDSs) in the management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) and dissections.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 18 patients treated for ECAAs with an FDS between 2010 and 2024. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedural details, and clinical and radiologic follow-up outcomes were extracted from medical records.
