Abstract:
Flow diverter technology improvements are necessary to provide safe and good results and enable the treatment of a larger variety of aneurysms. We report a nationwide experience with the Derivo Embolization Device in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Methods— BRAIDED (Brazilian Registry of Aneurysms Assigned to Intervention With the Derivo Embolization Device) is a multicenter, prospective, interventional, single-arm trial of the Derivo Embolization Device for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The primary effectiveness end point was total aneurysm occlusion at 6- and 12-month angiographies. The secondary safety end point was the absence of serious adverse events during follow-up. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of aneurysm persistence, periprocedural complications, and adverse events during follow-up. Results— Between December 2016 and October 2018, 146 patients harboring 183 intracranial aneurysms were treated in 151 interventions at 7 centers. Derivo Embolization Device placement was technically successful in all patients. Most aneurysms (86.9%) were located at the internal carotid artery, and the mean diameter was 6.7 mm. At 6 months, 113 of 140 (80.7%) aneurysms met the study’s primary end point, and 74 of 83 (89.2%) met the study’s primary end point at 12 months. Saccular morphology of the aneurysm (odds ratio, 5.66; 95% CI, 1.01–31.77) and the presence of a branch arising from the sac (odds ratio, 6.36; 95% CI, 2.11–22.36) predicted persistence. A long duration of follow-up (odds ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.78–0.95) predicted total occlusion. Of the 146 enrolled patients, 138 (94.5%) were treated without serious adverse events during follow-up. In the multivariable analysis, aneurysms located at a sidewall were less likely to experience these events than those located at bifurcations (odds ratio, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.01–0.51). Conclusions— The Derivo Embolization Device is a safe and effective treatment for intracranial aneurysms. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://plataformabrasil.saude.gov.br/login.jsf .
