Abstract
BACKGROUND The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is a minimally invasive endovascular treatment option for patients with cerebral aneurysms. Transradial access (TRA) is a technique that involves accessing the arterial system through the radial artery in the wrist rather than the femoral artery in the groin. Several studies have investigated the use of TRA for WEB device deployment in treating intracranial aneurysms. METHODS A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the TRA for WEB device deployment in treating intracranial aneurysms. The databases PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched. To reduce the risk of bias, this systematic review only included studies reporting on using TRA in WEB device deployment for intracranial aneurysm treatment with a minimum of four patients. RESULTS In this systematic review, 186 patients were included across five studies, with TRA used in 183 cases analyzed. The study population had a higher proportion of females (n = 118%-69%) than males, with a mean age of 62 years old. Among the aneurysms treated, 46 were ruptured, and 119 were located at bifurcation sites, with a mean maximum diameter/width of 6.6 mm and mean height of 5.9 mm. Adjunctive coiling was used in three cases, and adjunctive stenting was used in nine cases. In two cases, conversion to a femoral artery access was necessary. CONCLUSION The available results suggest TRA with the WEB device is a safe and effective alternative. However, using TRA versus TFA should be individualized based on patient factors and operator experience.

Abstract
Several studies have shown promising outcomes of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device for the treatment of wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms. This is a multicenter study attempts to explore the changes in trends and treatment outcomes over time for WEB embolization of intracranial aneurysms. The WorldWideWEB consortium is a retrospective multicenter collaboration of data from international centers spanning from January 2011 and June 2021, with no limitations on aneurysm location or rupture status. Both bifurcation and sidewall aneurysms were included. These patients were stratified based on treatment year into five treatment intervals: 2011-2015 (N = 66), 2016-2017 (N = 77), 2018 (N = 66), 2019 (N = 300), and 2020-2021 (N = 173). Patient characteristics and angiographic and clinical outcomes were compared between these time intervals. This study comprised 671 patients (median age 61.4 years; 71.2% female) with 682 intracranial aneurysms. Over time, we observed an increasing tendency to treat patients presenting with ruptured aneurysms and aneurysms with smaller neck, diameter, and dome widths. Furthermore, we observed a trend towards more off-label use of the WEB for sidewall aneurysms and increased adoption of transradial access for WEB deployment. Moreover, the proportion of patients with adequate WEB occlusion immediately and at last follow-up was significantly higher in more recent year cohorts, as well as lower rates of compaction and retreatment. Mortality and complications did not differ over time. This learning curve study suggests improved experience using the WEB for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and has yielded higher rates of adequate occlusion over time.

Therapeutic efficacy and complications of radial versus femoral access in endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Neuroradiol J 2023; 36:442-452.

Abstract
PURPOSE The transradial approach (TRA) in neuroendovascular treatment is known to have a lower risk of complications than the transfemoral approach (TFA). However, little research has focused on assessments of efficacy and risk of complications in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and complications of TRA and TFA in coil embolization of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) at our institution. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent endovascular surgery via TRA or TFA at a single institution from 1 April 2019, to 28 February 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified into TRA and TFA groups and assessed using propensity-adjusted analysis for outcomes including fluoroscopy time, volume embolization ratio (VER), and complications. RESULTS A total of 163 consecutive UIAs were treated with coil embolization during the 35-months study period. The incidence of minor access site complications (ASCs) was significantly higher with TFA (20%, 25/126) than with TRA (2.7%, 1/37; p = 0.01). Propensity-adjusted analysis (matched for age, sex, aneurysm volume, embolization technique, and sheath size) revealed that TRA was associated with a lower risk of minor ASCs (odds ratio, 0.085; 95% confidence interval 0.0094-0.78; p = 0.029). However, TRA did not differ significantly from TFA with respect to fluoroscopy time, VER, major ASCs, and non-ASCs. CONCLUSIONS Coil embolization for UIAs via TRA can reduce risk of minor ASCs without increasing the risk of non-ASCs compared with conventional TFA, and can achieve comparable results in term of efficacy and fluoroscopy time.

Abstract
Endovascular treatment is widely used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. However, neurosurgeons are sceptical about endovascular access via the radial artery. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of transradial and transfemoral artery access in patients with intracranial aneurysms. We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for studies comparing the two approaches. The primary outcome was total complications, and the secondary outcomes were access site complications, intracranial haemorrhage, stroke, thromboembolism, silent infarct, re-treatment rate, mortality, complete occlusion of intracranial aneurysms, procedure duration, and length of hospital stay. A random-effects model was used to assess the pooled data. Of the 100 identified studies, 6 were eligible (a total of 3764 participants). There were no significant differences in total complications(odds ratio [OR] = 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.33, 1.45], p = 0.32), complete occlusion of intracranial aneurysms (OR = 1.02, 95%CI [0.77,1.37], p = 0.87), procedure duration (mean difference [MD] = - 6.24, 95%CI [- 14.75, - 1.54], p = 0.95), or length of hospital stay (MD = 2.204, 95%CI [- 0.05, 4.45], p = 0.95), access site complications (OR = 0.49, 95%CI [0.16, 1.52], p = 0.22), intracranial haemorrhage (OR = 1.07, 95%CI [0.49, 2.34], p = 0.86), stroke (OR = 0.59, 95%CI [0.20, 1.77], p = 0.35), thromboembolism (OR = 0.85, 95%CI [0.33, 2.17], p = 0.74), silent infarct (OR = 0.69, 95%CI [0.04, 11.80], p = 0.80), retreatment rate (OR = 1.32, 95%CI [0.70, 2.48], p = 0.39), mortality (OR = 1.41, 95%CI [0.06, 5.20], p = 0.61), immediate occlusion (OR = 0.99, 95%CI [0.64, 1.51], p = 0.95), and occlusion during follow-up (OR = 1.10, 95%CI [0.56, 2.16], p = 0.74) between the transradial and transfemoral groups. This study showed comparable safety and efficacy outcomes between transradial and transfemoral access in patients with intracranial aneurysms treated endovascularly. Future large randomised trials are warranted to confirm these findings.
