Learning curve in pipeline embolization device: results from the pipeline embolization device in China post-market multicentre registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial aneurysms pose a significant health issue, affecting 3-5% of the adult population. The pipeline embolization device (PED) has emerged as a promising treatment for these lesions. This study aimed to investigate the impact of operator experience on complication and poor outcome rates, as well as the learning curve for PED.

Methods

A total of 217 patients were consecutively enroled from four eligible centres and divided into three groups based on the number of procedures performed: group 1 (first 10 procedures), group 2 (11-20 procedures), and group 3(>20 procedures). Major complications include operation-related ischaemic or haemorrhagic events and mass effect deterioration. Poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score greater than 2 at dis
