ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
There are few studies on flow diverters with diameters >5 mm. We present our preliminary experience with the 5.5-8 mm Derivo Embolization Device (DED) implants for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.METHODS:
A consecutive series of 26 patients (median age 60 years) treated for 32 aneurysms in 26 procedures was retrospectively analyzed for procedural characteristics, complications, and mid-term angiographic results.RESULTS:
The median aneurysm size was 10.5 mm, 2 of 30 (6%) aneurysms were ruptured and 9 (28%) had a fusiform or dissecting morphology. DED implantation was performed in the internal carotid artery in 18 of 26 (69%) procedures and in the vertebrobasilar artery in 8 (31%). Device deployment failed in 1 (4%) procedure. The 7 and 8 mm implants were successfully deployed in 5 cases. Additional balloon angioplasty or stent implantation was performed in 3 (12%) cases to improve wall apposition. Complications included 1 (4%) major stroke and 2 (8%) minor strokes. Angiographic follow up at a mean of 6 months showed complete occlusion in 8 of30 (27%) aneurysms and favorable occlusion in 14 (47%).CONCLUSIONS:
The use of large diameter DEDs was safe and feasible. The mid-term occlusion rates are acceptable considering the complex subset of aneurysms studied. Further studies are warranted to define the indications for large-diameter DEDs and to evaluate their long-term efficacy.
