Multiple Pipeline Embolization Devices for the Treatment of Complex Intracranial Aneurysm: A Multi-Center Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Pipeline for Uncoilable or Failed Aneurysms (PUFS) trial primarily demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the implantation of multiple pipeline embolization devices (multi-PEDs) for large/giant intracranial aneurysms. However, no study has focused on when, why, or how to apply multi-PEDs.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the indications and strategies of using multi-PEDs for complex intracranial aneurysms.

Methods

Patients who had been treated with two or more PEDs were included in the post-market multicenter registry study from 2014 to 2019, across 14 centers in China. Indications, strategies, perioperative safety, and clinical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) score was used to evaluate clin
