Efficacy and Safety of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) Device for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Intrasaccular flow diverters are increasingly being used in the treatment of wide-neck and bifurcation aneurysms. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature on the Woven EndoBridge device in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Materials and methods

A comprehensive literature search was performed through October 1, 2015. We extracted information on baseline aneurysm and patient characteristics. Outcomes studied included immediate and midterm (>3 month) angiographic outcomes (complete occlusion as well as adequate occlusion, defined as complete occlusion or neck remnant), aneurysm retreatment, intraoperative rupture, perioperative morbidity and mortality, thromboembolic complications, and treatment failure.
