web dl endovascular treatment of wide neck bifurcation aneurysms short and midterm results in a european study
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2014Co-Authors: Oris Lubicz, Joachim Klisch, J Y Gauvri, Istva Szikora, M Leonardi, Thomas Liebig, N P Nuzzi, Edoardo Occardi, F D Paola, Markus HoltmannspotteAbstract:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow disruption with the WEB-DL device has been used safely for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms, but the stability of aneurysm occlusion after this treatment is unknown. This retrospective multicenter European study analyzed short- and midterm data in patients treated with WEB-DL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve European neuroInterventional centers participated in the study. Clinical data and pre- and postoperative short- and midterm images were collected. An experienced Interventional Neuroradiologist independently analyzed the images. Aneurysm occlusion was classified into 4 grades: complete occlusion, opacification of the proximal recess of the device, neck remnant, and aneurysm remnant. RESULTS: Forty-five patients (34 women and 11 men) 35–74 years of age (mean, 56.3 ± 9.6 years) with 45 aneurysms treated with the WEB device were included. Aneurysm locations were the middle cerebral artery in 26 patients, the posterior circulation in 13 patients, the anterior communicating artery in 5 patients, and the internal carotid artery terminus in 1 patient. Forty-two aneurysms were unruptured. Good clinical outcome (mRS CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the WEB endovascular treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms offers stable occlusion in a class of aneurysms that are historically unstable. Additionally, our data show that opacification of the WEB recess can be delineated from true neck or aneurysm remnants.

quantitative evaluation of performance in Interventional neuroradiology an integrated curriculum featuring theoretical and practical challenges
PLOS ONE, 2016Co-Authors: Marielle Ernst, Levente Kriston, Olav Jansen, Jens Fiehler, Andreas Frölich, Javier Romero, Jan-hendrik BuhkAbstract:PURPOSE: We sought to develop a standardized curriculum capable of assessing key competencies in Interventional Neuroradiology by the use of models and simulators in an objective, quantitative, and efficient way. In this evaluation we analyzed the associations between the practical experience, theoretical knowledge, and the skills lab performance of Interventionalists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated the endovascular skills of 26 participants of the Advanced Course in Endovascular Interventional Neuroradiology of the European Society of Neuroradiology with a set of three tasks (aneurysm coiling and thrombectomy in a virtual simulator and placement of an intra-aneurysmal flow disruptor in a flow model). Practical experience was assessed by a survey. Participants completed a written and oral examination to evaluate theoretical knowledge. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: In multivariate analysis knowledge of materials and techniques in Interventional Neuroradiology was moderately associated with skills in aneurysm coiling and thrombectomy. Experience in mechanical thrombectomy was moderately associated with thrombectomy skills, while age was negatively associated with thrombectomy skills. We found no significant association between age, sex, or work experience and skills in aneurysm coiling. CONCLUSION: Our study gives an example of how an integrated curriculum for reasonable and cost-effective assessment of key competences of an Interventional Neuroradiologist could look. In addition to traditional assessment of theoretical knowledge practical skills are measured by the use of endovascular simulators yielding objective, quantitative, and constructive data for the evaluation of the current performance status of participants as well as the evolution of their technical competency over time.

WEB-DL Endovascular Treatment of Wide-Neck Bifurcation Aneurysms: Long-Term Results in a European Series
'American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR)', 2015Co-Authors: Pierot L, Klisch J, Leonardi M, Liebig T, Di Paola F, Gauvrit J. -y., Nuzzi N. P., Mine B., Lubicz B.Abstract:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow disruption with the WEB-DL device has been used safely for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. The stability of aneurysm occlusion after this treatment was evaluated in the short and midterm, but not in the long term. This retrospective multicenter European study is the continuation of an already published series dealing with short- and midterm anatomic results and analyzes long-term data in patients treated with the WEB-DL MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve European neuroInterventional centers initially participated in the study. In addition to data collected for the initial publication, images obtained at long-term follow-up were collected and independently analyzed by the same experienced Interventional Neuroradiologist. RESULTS: Of the initial 45 patients, 26 (20 women and 6 men; 35-73 years of age; mean, 55.2 +/- 10.6 years; median, 55.5 years) with 26 aneurysms treated with the WEB-DL device had long-term follow-up (median, 27.4 months). Three of 26 patients (11.5%) were retreated between short- and midterm follow-up, and none, between mid- and long-term follow-up. Long-term aneurysm occlusion in the 19 patients treated with the WEB only and not retreated during follow-up was complete occlusion in 13/19 patients (68.4%), including aneurysms with opacification of the proximal recess in 9/19 patients (47.4%), neck remnant in 3/19 patients (15.8%), and aneurysm remnant in 3/19 patients (15.8%). In all patients (100.0%), aneurysm occlusion was stable between midterm and long-term follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that WEB treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms offers long-term stable occlusion

Aneurysm locations were the middle cerebral artery in 26 patients, the posterior circulation in 13 patients, the anterior communicating artery in 5 patients, and the internal carotid artery terminus in 1 patient. Forty-two aneurysms were unruptured. Good clinical outcome (mRS < 2) was observed in 93.3% of patients at the last follow-up. Adequate occlusion (complete occlusion, opacification of the proximal recess, or neck remnant) was observed in 30/37 patients (81.1%) in short-term follow-up (median, 6 months) and in 26/29 patients (89.7%) in midterm follow-up (median, 13 months). Worsening of the aneurysm occlusion was observed in 2/28 patients (7.1%) at midterm follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the WEB endovascular treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms offers stable occlusion in a class of aneurysms that are historically unstable.

WEB-DL Endovascular Treatment of Wide-Neck Bifurcation Aneurysms: Short- and Midterm Results in a European Study
'American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR)', 2014Co-Authors: Lubicz B., Klisch J, Leonardi M, Liebig T, Gauvrit J. -y., Nuzzi N. P., Boccardi E, Paola F D, Holtmannspötter MAbstract:Short- and midterm results of endovascular aneurysm treatment with the new WEB-DL device were assessed in 45 patients from 12 European centers. Of these, 42 aneurysms were unruptured and most were located either in the MCA bifurcation or the posterior circulation. Adequate occlusion was observed in 81% and 90% of aneurysms at 6 and 13 months, respectively. Results suggest that WEB endovascular treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms offers stable occlusion in a class of aneurysms that are historically unstable.
