====== Thromboembolic disease ======

The main concern with the use of the [[pipeline embolization device]] (PED) in treating cerebral aneurysms is the risk of hemorrhagic and [[thromboembolism]], including several cases of branch artery occlusion and delayed occlusion of the stented parent vessel shortly after antiplatelet medications were discontinued, highlighting the potential need for long-term antiplatelet therapy, and disastrous bleeding complications in unruptured aneurysm.
