Multicenter Study
Early postmarket results after treatment of intracranial aneurysms with the pipeline embolization device: a U.S. multicenter experience.
The pipeline embolization device (PED) is the latest technology available for intracranial aneurysm treatment. ⋯ Unlike conventional coil embolization, aneurysm occlusion with PED is not immediate. Early complications include both thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events and appear to be significantly more frequent in association with treatment of vertebrobasilar aneurysms.
