Advances in endovascular aneurysm management: flow modulation techniques with braided mesh devices

Jessica K Campos et al. Stroke Vasc Neurol. .

Abstract

Flow diverters and flow disruption technology, alongside nuanced endovascular techniques, have ushered in a new era of treating cerebral aneurysms. Here, we provide an overview of the latest flow modulation devices and highlight their clinical applications and outcomes.

Keywords: aneurysm; flow diverter.
