Treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms using the novel generation of flow-diverters with surface modification: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surface modification of flow diverters (FDs) has been explored as a solution for reducing thrombotic risk of these devices, without necessarily using dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). If effective, this could pose a promising alternative for treatment of ruptured aneurysms not amenable to other modalities.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyzes guidelines. We included articles reporting use of surface-modified FDs for treatment of ruptured aneurysms. Demographics, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) severity, aneurysm characteristics, devices used, periprocedural complications, angiographic outcomes, and mortality were extracted for sample size-base
