Expert Meeting on Haemorrhagic Complications Following Flow Diverter Treatment
As there have been of a number of haemorrhagic complications reported following flow diverter treatment of some aneurysms, ESMINT’s Executive Committee organized an expert meeting on the topic in December 2010. Recent published data in the literature and collected by the Industry demonstrate (approximately) a 1% risk of delayed haemorrhage following treatment. In most cases, aneurysm rupture appears to be related to a long lasting, unorganized thrombus within the aneurysm. The ESMINT Task Force will run a retrospective data collection in Europe and continue analysing potential causes for these complications. Results of this effort will be published periodically.
