Abstract
Objective: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device was approved to treat wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. The device is designed as an intrasaccular flow disruptor covering aneurysm widths up to 10 mm. Although prior studies combined all aneurysm sizes, it is known that aneurysms behave differently in response to endovascular treatment based on their size. Therefore, the authors' objective was to identify ideal middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm width and neck sizes most suitable for WEB treatment.
Methods: The WorldWideWEB consortium is a large multicenter retrospective database that analyzes intracranial aneurysms treated with the WEB device. In this study, all unruptured MCA bifurcation aneurysms with available measurements were included. Cutoff values based on aneurysm width and neck in relation to aneurysm occlusion status were measured using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Propensity score matching (PSM) was then used to compare treatment outcomes between aneurysms smaller and larger than the cutoff value for both width and neck size.
Results: The ideal cutoff values for MCA bifurcation aneurysm width and neck were 6.1 mm and 4.6 mm, respectively. On PSM, 87 matched pairs were compared based on width size (≤ 6.1 mm and > 6.1 mm), and 77 matched pairs were compared based on neck size (≤ 4.6 mm and > 4.6 mm). There was a significant difference in adequate aneurysm occlusion between aneurysms smaller and larger than those cutoff values for both widths (93% vs 76%, p = 0.0017) and neck sizes (90% vs 70%, p = 0.0026). The retreatment rate was also significantly higher for larger aneurysms in both parameters.
Conclusions: This study shows that MCA bifurcation aneurysms ≤ 6.1 mm in width and ≤ 4.6 mm in neck size are significantly better candidates for WEB treatment, leading to improved occlusion status and reduced retreatment rate, which are important considerations when using WEB devices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, and Neurosurgical Focus are devoted to the publication of original works relating primarily to neurosurgery, including studies in clinical neurophysiology, organic neurology, ophthalmology, radiology, pathology, and molecular biology. The Editors and Editorial Boards encourage submission of clinical and laboratory studies. Other manuscripts accepted for review include technical notes on instruments or equipment that are innovative or useful to clinicians and researchers in the field of neuroscience; papers describing unusual cases; manuscripts on historical persons or events related to neurosurgery; and in Neurosurgical Focus, occasional reviews. Letters to the Editor commenting on articles recently published in the Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics are welcome.
