Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using a flow-diverting stent
DeviceThe flow diverter brings about a reduction of blood flow to the aneurysm, which progresses over time into forming a stable thrombus within the aneurysm, as well as eventual aneurysm scarring and retraction. The flow diverter also acts as a scaffold for tissue growth across the neck of the aneurysm, which blocks the aneurysm from the artery blood flow.
