====== Aneurysm occlusion ====== {{rss>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rss/search/1hIuyCTdZ6arVp_FARbjq_IjJHfan0N3UfQsiYKXb6vuChcsv5/?limit=15&utm_campaign=pubmed-2&fc=20230615130841}} The [[efficacy]] of [[intracranial aneurysm treatment]] (long-term [[success]] or [[effectiveness]] of the treatment) is measured by [[evidence]] of the [[aneurysm]] [[obliteration]] (failure to be demonstrated by conventional or noninvasive angiography), without evidence of [[aneurysm]] [[recanalization]] (any blood flow into the aneurysm) or [[aneurysm recurrence]] (reappearance). ---- Despite advances in [[embolization device]]s, coiling of [[small intracranial aneurysm]]s is still scrutinized. High [[occlusion]] rates are achievable, especially in [[unruptured aneurysm]]s, with coil type and packing density suggesting an association with complete occlusion. Technical complications may be influenced by [[aneurysm geometry]] ((Begley SL, White TG, Shah KA, Turpin J, Toscano D, Dehdashti AR, Teron I, Link T, Patsalides A, Woo HH. A comparison of endovascular coil systems for the treatment of small intracranial aneurysms. Interv Neuroradiol. 2023 Jun 13:15910199231182456. doi: 10.1177/15910199231182456. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 37312530.)). ---- Compared with [[pipeline embolization device]] (PED) alone, PED coiling could improve aneurysm occlusion. However, it could also increase the total [[complication]] risk, prolong procedure time, and increase the total [[cost]]. Compared with loose [[packing]], dense packing did not enhance the treatment effectiveness but increased the treatment cost. Clinical relevance statement: The additional treatment effect from [[coiling]] embolization declines sharply after a certain point. Specifically, the aneurysm occlusion rate is roughly stable when the coil number is greater than 3 or the total coil length is longer than 150 cm ((Tong X, Han M, Xue X, Wu Z, Chen J, Liu A.

Current literature suggests that the absence of branch involvement, younger [[age]], and [[aneurysm]] [[diameter]] have the highest [[impact]] on [[aneurysm occlusion]] after treatment with [[flow diverter]]s. Large studies investigating high-quality data with well-defined [[inclusion criteria]] are needed for greater insight into [[flow diverter]] [[effectiveness]] ((Meyer L, Stracke CP, Bester M, Kallmes KM, Zeleňák K, Rouchaud A, Martínez-Galdámez M, Jabbour P, Nguyen TN, Siddiqui AH, Fiehler J, Gellissen S.
