Comparison of Flow-Redirection Endoluminal Device and Pipeline Embolization Device in the Treatment of Intracerebral Aneurysms

Compared with PED, FRED offers modest 6-month occlusion rates, which may be due to aneurysmal and baseline patient characteristics differences between both cohorts. Although not significant, FRED was associated with a higher complication rate mostly because of in-stent stenosis. Additional studies with longer follow-up durations should be conducted to further evaluate FRED thrombogenicity.
