Predicting difficulty in Flow Re-direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) deployment using angiography: A technical note
Abstract
The Flow Re-direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) is widely used to treat large intracranial unruptured cerebral aneurysms; however, some cases of deployment failure have been observed. Most of these cases occur in internal carotid artery aneurysms around the siphon. We report a method that we developed to predict the success of FRED deployment by using a preoperative angiography in simple lateral view.
