The New Low-Profile WEB 17 System for Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: First Clinical Experiences

ORIGINAL RESEARCH INTERVENTIONAL The New Low-Profile WEB 17 System for Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: First Clinical Experiences X S.B.T. van Rooij, X J.P. Peluso, X M. Sluzewski, X H.G. Kortman, and X W.J. van Rooij ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is an intrasaccular flow diverter intended to treat wide-neck aneurysms. The latest generation WEBs needed a 0.021-inch microcatheter in the small sizes. Recently, a lower profile range of WEBs compliant with a 0.017-inch microcatheter (WEB 17) has been introduced.

There were 6 men and 34 women (mean age, 62 years; median, 63 years; range, 46–87 years). The mean aneurysm size was 4.9 mm (median, 5 mm; range, 2–7 mm). RESULTS: There were 2 thromboembolic procedural complications without clinical sequelae and no ruptures. The overall permanent procedural complication rate was 0% (0 of 40; 97.5% CI, 0%–10.4%).
