Acutely Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms Treated with Flow-Diverter Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The implantation of flow-diverter stents for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms required further investigation.

Purpose

Our aim was to analyze the outcomes after flow diversion of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Data sources

A systematic search of 3 databases was performed for studies published from 2006 to 2018.

Study selection

According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we included studies (from 2010 to 2018) reporting acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with flow diversion.

Data analysis

Random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool the following: aneurysm occlusion rate, complications, rebleeding, and factors influencing the studied outcomes.
