Abstract
In the treatment of an intracranial aneurysm with the flow diverter, the combined use of coil embolization can help promote subsequent progressive thrombosis within the aneurysm sac and reduce the risk of delayed aneurysm rupture. This study retrospectively reviewed outcomes of patients who had undergone the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) with adjunctive coil embolization (PED/coil) at a single center to determine its safety and efficiency. Patients with internal carotid artery aneurysms following an intradural component were selected for PED/coil between 2015 and 2020. All patients were premedicated with dual antiplatelet therapy of aspirin plus clopidogrel or prasugrel. A minimal number of PEDs were deployed, with coils inserted using a stent-jail technique, avoiding dense packing. A total of 46 aneurysms (43 patients; median dome size, 11.6 mm; median neck width, 6.3 mm) were treated with PED/coil. The median volume embolization ratio was 14.8%. The degree of angiographic filling at the 6-month and latest angiography showed complete occlusion in 60.5% (26/43) and 70.5% (31/44), respectively. Small (< 10 mm) aneurysms achieved a higher complete occlusion rate in the early period; a lower cumulative incidence of aneurysm occlusion was observed in large and giant (≥ 10 mm) aneurysms (P = .024). The median clinical follow-up was 22 months, and no aneurysm ruptures occurred. Favorable clinical outcomes were achieved, with permanent neurological morbidity of 4.7% and no mortality. PED/coil demonstrated a high angiographic occlusion rate at an early stage. Loosely packed coils are sufficient to obliterate aneurysms effectively.
