- Treatment of Ruptured Blister-Like Aneurysms with the FRED Flow Diverter: A Multicenter Experience
In a retrospective multicenter study, all patients treated with the FRED for a ruptured intracranial blister-like aneurysm between January 2013 and May 2019 were analyzed. In total, 30 patients with 30 ruptured blister-like aneurysms were treated. Immediate complete aneurysm obliteration with the FRED was achieved in 10 patients (33%). Of the 26 patients with follow-up, complete obliteration was achieved in 21 patients (80%) after 6 months and in 24 patients (92%) in the final follow-up (median, 22 months). The authors conclude that treatment of ruptured blister-like aneurysms with the FRED is safe and effective.
