The Woven EndoBridge embolization device for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms.

This article is primarily a descriptive and technical article aimed at doctors who use catheter-based techniques to treat problems of the blood vessels. Initial studies show that the device is at least as effective as previously existing methods, though more research needs to be done regarding long-term outcomes.
