Utilization of pipeline embolization device for treatment of ruptured complex intracranial aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Use of the Pipeline embolization device (PED) for treatment of ruptured complex intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remains controversial due to higher thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications compared to balloon-assisted coiling. We present our experience using the PED for ruptured complex IAs and focus on the safety, effectiveness, and follow-up results.

Methods

Consecutive 46 patients with ruptured complex IAs who had undergone PED deployment from January 2019 to December 2023 at our neurosurgical center were retrospectively enrolled. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedural complications, clinical and angiographic follow-up outcomes were reviewed.

Results

A total of 46 patients were analyzed with a mean age of 55.8 ± 13.4 years, including
