Woven Endobridge (WEB) Device as a Retreatment Strategy After Unsuccessful Surgical Clipping.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms is typically robust and durable. However, residual aneurysmal components may be seen after clipping. Furthermore, there may be occasional aneurysmal recurrence. These factors are both clinically relevant because subarachnoid hemorrhage after clipping is a rare but important event. The rationale for any treatment is to substantially decrease the future risk of hemorrhage. Small series have shown coiling as a retreatment strategy after unsuccessful clipping, but none has explored the feasibility of Woven Endobridge (WEB) implantation.

Case description

We examined the feasibility of WEB implantation as second-line treatment for wide-necked residual aneurysms after unsuccessful clipping. We also recorded the safety and effic
