ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Safety and efficacy of the WEB (Woven EndoBridge) device have been extensively evaluated in several good clinical practice studies. Nonetheless, the WEB had several structural evolutions overtime up to the fifth generation WEB device (WEB17). Here, we tried to understand how this may have modified our practices and enlarged our indications for its use.METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed data from all patients with aneurysms treated (or intended to be treated) with a WEB at our institution between July 2012 and February 2022. The time frame was split in two periods before and after the arrival of the WEB17 in our center (February 2017).RESULTS:
252 patients with 276 wide-necked aneurysms were included; 78 aneurysms (28.2%) were ruptured. Successful embolization with a WEB device was achieved in 263/276 aneurysms (95.3%). With the availability of WEB17, treated aneurysms were significantly smaller (8.2 mm versus 5.9 mm, p<0.001) and off-label location significantly increased (4.4% versus 17.3%, p = 0.02) with an increase of sidewall aneurysm (4.4% versus 11.6%, p = 0.06). Also, WEB were more significantly oversized (1.05 versus 1.11, p<0.01). Adequate and complete occlusion rates increased constantly during the two periods (54.8% versus 67.5%, p = 0.08 and 74.2% versus 83.7%, p = 0.10, respectively). The proportion of ruptured aneurysms slightly increased between the two periods (24.6% versus 29.5%, p = 0.44).CONCLUSIONS:
Over the first decade of its availability, the WEB device usage shifted towards smaller aneurysms and broader indications, including ruptured aneurysms. The oversizing strategy also became the standard of practice for WEB deployment in our institution.Palabras clave
