Medtronic literature review found a report of an ischemic event after pipeline flex implantation.The purpose of this article was to review the series of patients who underwent treatment with the pipeline embolization device (ped) and to discuss the efficacy and safety of the flow diverter in comparison with other conventional treatment options.The authors identified 24 patients with 24 large or giant, unruptured carotid cavernous aneurysms (cca) treated with ped.The mean age was 71.5 years; 23 patients were female and 1 was male.The article states case 2 ((b)(6), female) underwent placement of five telescoping peds in the treatment of a left cca (28mm) and a tandem aneurysm on the near proximal side.Post-mri showed multiple ischemic lesions due to ¿showered thromboemboli¿.Symptoms included hemiparesis and aphasia, which resolved at one month.
