Comparison of the Pipeline embolisation device alone or combined with coiling for treatment of different sizes of intracranial aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to compare complications and outcomes between intracranial aneurysms treated with the Pipeline embolisation device (PED) alone or with PED combined with coiling for different-sized aneurysms.

Method

Patients with aneurysms treated by PED were collected from the PED in China postmarket multicentre registry study. We performed a propensity match analysis to compare the efficacy and safety between PED alone and PED combined with coiling treatment, and then aneurysms were organised into three groups based on their size: small (≤7 mm), medium (≤15 mm to >7 mm) and large/giant (>15 mm). Complications and aneurysm occlusion rates in the aneurysm size groups were compared between PED alone and PED combined with coiling patients.
