Safety and efficacy of flow redirection endoluminal device (FRED) for treatment of intracranial aneurysm; A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundPrevious research has shown promising results for treating intracranial aneurysms (IAs) with a flow redirection endoluminal device (FRED). In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of this device by providing pooled estimates using the data from previous studies.MethodsA systematic literature search of Web of Sciences, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase was performed until October 8th, 2023. After selecting the final articles, relevant data were extracted. Parameters relating to safety and efficacy were pooled using STATA software. Heterogeneity was assessed using I-squared and Cochran's Q. Funnel plots and Egger's regression methods were used to evaluate publication bias. Sensitivity analysis was also performed using the leave-one-out method
