Flow Diverter Device for Treatment of Cerebral Aneurysm with Short-Term Follow Up: Two Case Reports / 고신대학교의과대학학술지

ABSTRACT

The flow diverter device (FDD) is an important treatment method for cerebral aneurysms, especially for intracranial dissecting aneurysms. This paper is the result of FDD treatment for two cases of vertebral dissecting aneurysm (VADA) patients and short-term follow-up at 3 months. All two cases were targeted for unruptured cerebral aneurysm, and 4-vessel angiography was performed as a follow-up examination for 3 months after receiving the procedure. As result, it was possible to shorten the period of use of antiplatelet drugs. In the case of VADA, there are limitations in general coiling procedures or conventional surgical treatment methods. In that sense, the FDD treatment method can be a very effective alternative treatment of VADA
