Comparison of angiographic outcomes and complication rates of WEB embolization and coiling for treatment of unruptured basilar tip aneurysms.

ABSTRACT: Endovascular coiling represents the standard treatment for basilar tip aneurysms. Some of these aneurysms are not amenable to conventional coiling due to a complex aneurysm geometry, hence, novel devices such as the Woven Endobridge (WEB) have been developed. We retrospectively compared WEB embolization and coiling for the treatment of unruptured basilar tip aneurysms. Patients treated with WEB or coiling at four centers were reviewed. Procedure-related complications, clinical outcome and angiographic results were retrospectively evaluated and compared. Forty patients treated with the WEB and 35 patients treated by coiling were included. Stent-assistance was more often necessary for coiling than for WEB embolization (71% vs 2.5%, p < 0.001). The technical success rates were 100% for both m
