Flow diverter versus stent-assisted coiling treatment for managing dissecting intracranial aneurysms: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundDissecting intracranial aneurysms (DIAs) have been treated through endovascular reconstructive manners, such as flow diverters (FDs) and stent-assisted coiling (SAC). Notably, no robust evidence has compared both approaches. Hence, the authors conducted a meta-analysis to compare their outcomes.MethodsPubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched for studies employing SAC and FD treatment for DIAs. The following outcomes were considered for extraction: procedure-related mortality, total mortality, postoperative and follow-up complete aneurysm occlusion, complications, good clinical outcomes, recurrence, and retreatment. Odds ratio (OR) with random effects was employed for statistical comparison.ResultsThe meta-analysis included 10 studies. A total of 195 and 222 patients were i
