Treatment of Ruptured and Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms with WEB 17 Versus WEB 21 Systems : Comparison of Indications and Early Angiographic Outcomes.
The concept of intrasaccular flow diversion using the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device changed the traditional endovascular concept for wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. The latest technical advancement resulted in the WEB 17 system, a softer device composed of fewer wires which enables treatment of smaller more distally located aneurysms by using smaller microcatheters as compared to the WEB 21 system. ⋯ The use of WEB 17 expands the treatment indications for intrasaccular flow-diversion towards smaller and more distally located aneurysms with a safety profile comparable with that of the WEB 21.
