Pipeline embolization of complex, wide-necked middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysms: A single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the performance of Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) in complex, wide-necked middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysms.

Methods

We performed a retrospective review of patients treated with PED for complex, wide-necked MCA bifurcation aneurysms between August 2016 and March 2021. In addition to demographic data, we collected aneurysmal neck width, dome-to-neck ratio, complications, and clinical and angiographic follow-up. The embolization degree of aneurysms was evaluated by O'Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading scale, and the prognosis was assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Results

From August 2016 to March 2021, a total of 46 patients with 49 MCA bifurcation aneurysms in our center were enrolled, of whom all received PEDs successfull
