Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment with the flow-disrupter Woven EndoBridge aneurysm embolization system (WEB) is an innovative treatment for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. Prospective, multicenter studies have shown the high safety of this technique. Stability of aneurysm occlusion in long-term follow-up has been rarely studied. Moreover the "compression" phenomenon has been reported and seems to be associated with poor anatomic results. This prospective, single-center series analyzes the safety and efficacy of the WEB device in long-term follow-up in relation to WEB shape modification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients with aneurysms treated with the WEB were prospectively included in a data base. Demographics, aneurysm characteristics, adverse events, and anatomic results were retrospectively analyzed. Anatomic results and modification of the WEB shape on the follow-up examinations were independently evaluated by a core laboratory. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients were included. We observed few complications: intraoperative rupture in no patients (0.0%) and thromboembolic events in 3 patients (7.7%) with a permanent deficit in 1 (2.6%). At short-term, midterm, and long-term follow-up, adequate occlusion was obtained in 86.8%, 83.3%, and 87.5%, respectively. Retreatment rates were low (5.1%). At 6 months, WEB shape modification (compression/retraction) was observed in 31.6% of patients but was not associated with a lower rate of adequate occlusion. CONCLUSIONS: This prospective, single-center series with WEB devices used in 39 patients during 3.5 years confirms data from previous multicenter studies. Treatment can be accomplished with good safety and efficacy, with a high rate of adequate occlusion. Anatomic results were not worse in case of WEB shape modification.
