Dual impact of flow diverters on ischemic and hemorrhagic outcomes in vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms presenting with ischemia
To evaluate the efficacy and potential significance of flow diversion (FD) in treating ischemia-onset vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADA).
Key Findings:
FD placement was technically successful in all cases with no complications.
All lesions showed O’Kelly–Marotta grade C occlusion at 6 months, indicating effective flow remodeling.
No recurrent cerebral infarctions or aneurysmal ruptures occurred in the study cohort.
Interpretation:
Flow diversion may be a viable treatment option for selected cases of ischemia-onset VADA, potentially reducing the risk of recurrent embolic events and aneurysmal rupture, but further research is essential.
Limitations:
Small sample size limits generalizability; potential biases and confounding factors should be acknowledged.
Conclusion:
Flow diversion could be considered in the management of ischemia-onset VADA, warranting further investigation in larger cohorts, particularly focusing on long-term outcomes.
