Conventional endovascular treatment and flow diverter for unruptured small- and medium-sized paraophthalmic segment aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The efficacy and safety of flow diverters (FD) compared to conventional endovascular treatment (CET) for treating small- and medium-sized intracranial aneurysms remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of FD and CET in common small- and medium-sized paraophthalmic segment aneurysms (PSAs) in clinical practice, with the expectation of providing a basis for clinical treatment decisions for such aneurysms.

Methods

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with unruptured small- and medium-sized (≤10 mm) PSAs treated at three neurosurgical centers between January 2018 and December 2023. Patients were assigned to the CET or FD group. The primary efficacy endpoint was the rate of complete aneurysm occlusion. The
