Abstrakt: Background: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is a potential treatment option in patients with wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs). We analysed our WEB device outcomes (occlusion rates and complications) and studied factors that may predict aneurysm occlusion status at short- and medium-term follow-up.
Methods: 7 4 patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms underwent treatment with the WEB device over a 5-year period. Simple hypothesis tests assessed differences between treated ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Univariable binary logistic regression was used to assess the effect of age, gender, and aneurysm location on the likelihood of adequate occlusion at six months. Aneurysm dimentions including device-to-aneurysm volume (DAV) ratios were compared between adequately and inadequately occluded aneurysms.
Results: The mean age at the time of the procedure was 58.2 years (SD 12.2; range 34-88) and the male to female ratio was 1:2.7. Middle cerebral artery (MCA) was the most commonly treated aneurysm. There was no significant difference in occlusion rates between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. The six- and 18-month angiographic follow-up data was available for 61 and 32 patients respectively with adequate occlusion rates of 78.7% (48/61) and 78.1% (25/32). Procedure-related complications occurred in 6 patients (8.1%). Baseline DAV ratio was found to be significantly higher in aneurysms that were adequately occluded at both short- ( p -value 0.015) and medium-term ( p -value 0.047) follow-up.
Conclusions: WEB devices are a safe and effective endovascular treatment option for WNBAs. WEB device selection incorporating the peri-procedural DAV ratio may help improve the accuracy of device sizing thereby improving the successful occlusion rate.
