Abstract:
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of Pipeline embolization device (PED) in treatment of intracranial complex aneurysms. Methods: Clinical data of 11 patients with intracranial complex aneurysms treated with PED were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Twelve PED were implanted in 11 patients with 12 aneurysms. Ten patients were implanted 1 PED and 1 patient with 2 PED, 3 aneurysms were implanted PED alone, 9 aneurysms underwent PED combined with coil embolization. Cerebral angiography immediately after operation showed that contrast agent was detained in aneurysm and PED adhered well to the wall, completely covered the neck of aneurysms and the artery with aneurysm was unobstructed. One patient had a local acute cerebral infarction after operation and recovered after treatment. Postoperative follow-up time was 6-9 months, the median follow-up time was 7.5 months. The symptoms significantly relieved or disappeared, no obvious complication occurred, and the occlusion rate of aneurysm was 75.00% (9/12). According to O'kelly-Marotta (OKM) grating, there was no aneurysm in grade A, 1 of grade B, 2 of grade C and 9 of grade D. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) were 0 score in 10 patients and 1 score in 1 patient. Conclusion: Treatment of intracranial complex aneurysms with PED has good effect and safety.
