Efficacy and safety of flow diverters in the treatment of posterior circulation dissecting aneurysm / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

The clinical features of posterior circulation dissecting aneurysm are complex, and microsurgical clipping is more difficult. Endovascular therapy is the main treatment method at present. Flow diverter (FD) has higher metal coverage rate. Compared with the traditional endovascular therapy, especially when the parent artery needs to be retained during procedure, FD has a lower complication rate after treatment of posterior circulation dissecting aneurysm, and it has gradually become an effective treatment method for such aneurysms. This article reviews the efficacy and safety of FD in the treatment of posterior circulation dissecting aneurysms.
