The Use of Flow Diversion for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: Expansion of Indications.

摘要: Flow diversion is a novel concept for treating anatomically challenging intracranial aneurysms and has gained increasing acceptance. diverter stents, such as the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) (ev3-Covidien, Irvine, CA, USA), are approved unruptured large giant from internal carotid artery between superior hypophyseal cavernous segments. However, technological advances recent clinical results suggest that flow can be safely effectively used in ruptured aneurysms, posterior circulation distal anterior aneurysms. In this brief review, we aim to investigate evidence on utilization of PEDs these controversial vascular territories discuss whether indications expanded.
