What is the difference between a stent and a flow diverter?

Flow Diverter achieved more progress occlusion and less recurrence. Compared with the conventional stents, procedure-related morbidity of Flow Diverter was similar. Flow Diverter is a preferred treatment for large and giant unruptured aneurysms.

What is a surpass flow diverter?

The Surpass Evolve is a 64-wire cobalt-chromium flow diverter designed to redirect blood flow and promote aneurysm healing. The Surpass Evolve was launched in Europe in 2019. The Evolve device joins the Surpass Streamline in Stryker’s flow diverter portfolio.

How does a flow diverter work?

A flow-diverter stent disrupts the flow of blood from the parent artery into the aneurysm, gradually slowing the flow of blood into the aneurysm and, over time, preventing blood from entering the aneurysm altogether.

What is a Fred stent?

The FRED® System uses a permanent metal wire stent to provide support for a weakened area in a blood vessel in the brain that has bulged or ballooned into a brain aneurysm. The FRED® System blocks off blood flow to the aneurysm.

Is flow diverter necessary?

Reasons for having flow diversion performed Flow diversion is one method of removing the need to enter the aneurysm, which is the most dangerous part of endovascular treatment of aneurysms. The risk of rupturing the aneurysm during surgery is greatly diminished by not placing a device inside the aneurysm.

Is flow diverter safe?

Conclusions: The treatment of small and medium-sized aneurysms with flow diverters is effective in achieving curative reconstruction in most cases and is associated with low rates of morbidity and mortality.

What is a pipeline stent?

Introduction. The pipeline embolization device (PED) is a new endovascular stent designed for the treatment of challenging intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Its use has been extended to nonruptured and ruptured IAs of a variety of configurations and etiologies in both the anterior and posterior circulations.

What is a neuro pipeline?

The Pipeline Embolization Device, or PED, has revolutionized treatment for unruptured brain aneurysms. A PED is a small cylindrical mesh device that is inserted into an affected artery in a less invasive endovascular procedure.
