Endovascular treatment of challenging aneurysms with FRED Jr flow diverter stents: a single-center experience

PURPOSE: To analyze clinical safety and efficacy of flow re-direction endoluminal device (FRED) Jr flow diverter for treatment of unruptured, ruptured, or recanalyzed aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 2019 and February 2022, 25 patients with 31 aneurysms treated with FRED Jr were inc...

Sumario:PURPOSE: To analyze clinical safety and efficacy of flow re-direction endoluminal device (FRED) Jr flow diverter for treatment of unruptured, ruptured, or recanalyzed aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 2019 and February 2022, 25 patients with 31 aneurysms treated with FRED Jr were included in the study. Clinical and radiological records, procedural details, and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. Eighteen (72%) patients were female. Median age was 48.8 (age range 9–85). Mean follow-up was 21 months (6–28 months). Location of the aneurysms were as follows; 13 in middle cerebral artery (MCA), 7 in anterior cerebral artery (ACA), 4 in posterior cerebral artery (PCA), 3 in true posterior communicating artery (PCom), 2 in anterior communicating artery (ACom), 1 in superior cerebellar artery (SCA), 1 in true ophthalmic artery. Five patients (20%) presented with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). RESULTS: In all procedures, FRED Jr was successfully deployed. Three true Pcom aneurysms and a true ophthalmic aneurysm were treated with FRED Jr. Three patients with two adjacent aneurysms were treated with a single FRED Jr. In two (8%) patients in-stent thrombosis occurred intraoperatively, they were treated with iv tirofiban and thrombectomy without any sequelae. Post-discharge 2 weeks later, intraparenchymal hemorrhage occurred in a patient. He was treated with surgical drainage, the clinical course was modified Rankin score (mRS) 2. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed on 16 (64%) patients with 21 (67%) aneurysms. Near complete–complete occlusion (O’Kelly–Morata grading scale (OKM C-D) was documented in 15/16 (93.7%) patients, 20/21 (95.2%) aneurysms. In nine (36%) patients, no residual filling was observed in the magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Good clinical outcome (mRS 0–1) was achieved in 24/25 (96%) of patients. CONCLUSION: Endovascular treatment of small cerebral aneurysms with FRED Jr is safe and effective even in complex and challenging morphologies allowing high rates of aneurysm occlusion with low periprocedural complications. Our cohort, consisting of a rate 20% acute ruptured aneurysms, is the major additive data to the published literature.
