Comparison of pipeline embolization device and flow redirection endoluminal device in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advancements in flow diversion technology have revolutionized the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The pipeline embolization device (PED) and the flow redirection endoluminal device (FRED) have emerged as prominent tools in this field. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy profiles of PED and FRED in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Methods

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Studies comparing PED and FRED were included and data extraction focused on study characteristics, patient demographics, and clinical and radiological outcomes. Primary outcomes were favorable outcomes,
