To report preliminary experience using the Tubridge Plus flow diverter (TPFD) for intracranial aneurysms (IAs), evaluating its technical feasibility, efficacy, safety, and outcomes.
Approach:
Study Design: A single-center prospective study involving 10 consecutive patients with 10 IAs treated with TPFD.
Data Collection: Technical success, intraoperative adverse events, and angiographic outcomes were collected and analyzed.
Key Findings:
Technical success rate for TPFD delivery and deployment was 100%.
Intraoperative adverse events occurred in 2 patients (20%), both managed with adjunctive stenting.
No perioperative complications were recorded.
Transient postoperative headache occurred in 1 patient (10%).
Complete occlusion rates improved over time: 60% at 6 months, 80% at 1 year, and 90% at last follow-up.
No in-stent stenosis or ipsilateral stroke was recorded during follow-up.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
Small sample size.
Single-center design.
Short follow-up duration.
Conclusion:
Further large-scale, multicenter studies with long-term follow-up are warranted to validate the safety and efficacy of TPFD.
