Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent intracranial aneurysms present a significant clinical challenge, demanding innovative and effective treatment approaches. The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device has emerged as a promising endovascular solution for managing these intricate cases. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the WEB device in treating recurrent intracranial aneurysms. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, from inception to June 5, 2023. Eligible studies focused on evaluating WEB device performance and included a minimum of five patients with recurrent intracranial aneurysms. The complete and adequate occlusion rates, neck remnant rates, and periprocedural complication rates were pooled using SATA V.17. RESULTS Our analysis included five studies collectively enrolling 73 participants. Participant ages ranged from 52.9 to 65 years, with 64.4% being female. Aneurysms were wide-necked and predominantly located in the middle cerebral artery, basilar artery, and anterior cerebral artery. Previous treatments encompassed coiling, clipping, and the use of WEB devices. Our study found an overall adequate occlusion rate of 0.80 (95% CI 0.71-0.89), a complete occlusion rate of 0.39 (95% CI 0.28-0.50), and a neck remnant rate of 0.38 (95% CI 0.27-0.48). Periprocedural complications were reported at a rate of 0%, although heterogeneity was observed in this data. Notably, evidence of publication bias was identified in the reporting of periprocedural complication rates. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the WEB device is associated with favorable outcomes for treating recurrent wide-neck intracranial aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Contour Embolization Device (CED) is typically assessed using coiling angiographic outcomes. However, these scales do not address device-specific problematics. We evaluated the usability of the Bicêtre occlusion scale (BOS) with the CED. RESULTS BOS scores can be analyzed as BOSS 0 = no residual flow, BOSS 1 = residual flow inside the CED but with complete neck-sealing, BOSS 2 = neck-remnant, BOSS 3 = aneurysm-remnant, BOSS 1 + 3 = contrast filling inside the device and aneurysmal sac without complete neck-sealing. CONCLUSION BOS usage should be encouraged as it provides a more comprehensive assessment of the mechanism of CED occlusion, especially considering the potential prognostic value of the neck sealing assessment.

Abstract
Recurrent intracranial aneurysms (IAs) often present with more complex morphology such as irregular shape, shallow height, and wide neck, which can make for challenging endovascular treatments.1 Initial rupture and interventions are associated with fibrotic changes and considerable alteration in the aneurysm configuration, which limits retreatment options and increases the risk of complications during retreatment.2 The Woven Endobridge (WEB) embolization device has demonstrated high efficacy, flexibility, and safety for the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation IAs, including ruptured and recurrent IAs, as shown in multiple retrospective studies and meta-analyses.3-8 Due to its optimal barrel shape, the WEB device is useful in the setting of previously treated aneurysms, particularly with wide-neck previously coiled aneurysms.1 9 10 In this technical video of four cases (video 1), we describe the technical nuances of WEB embolization for recurrent IAs, which were initially either coiled or clipped and demonstrated progressive growth with a wide-neck presentation on follow-up. neurintsurg;16/3/226/V1F1V1Video 1Management of recurrent intracranial aneurysms via WEB: This video describes four recurrent intracranial aneurysms, which were initially either coiled or clipped but demonstrated progressive growth with a wide-neck presentation on follow-up.

J Neuroradiol 2023; 50:518-522.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safety and efficacy of the WEB (Woven EndoBridge) device have been extensively evaluated in several good clinical practice studies. Nonetheless, the WEB had several structural evolutions overtime up to the fifth generation WEB device (WEB17). Here, we tried to understand how this may have modified our practices and enlarged our indications for its use. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from all patients with aneurysms treated (or intended to be treated) with a WEB at our institution between July 2012 and February 2022. The time frame was split in two periods: before and after the arrival of the WEB17 in our center (February 2017). RESULTS 252 patients with 276 wide-necked aneurysms were included; 78 aneurysms (28.2%) were ruptured. Successful embolization with a WEB device was achieved in 263/276 aneurysms (95.3%). With the availability of WEB17, treated aneurysms were significantly smaller (8.2 mm versus 5.9 mm, p<0.001) and off-label location significantly increased (4.4% versus 17.3%, p = 0.02) with an increase of sidewall aneurysm (4.4% versus 11.6%, p = 0.06). Also, WEB were more significantly oversized (1.05 versus 1.11, p<0.01). Adequate and complete occlusion rates increased constantly during the two periods (54.8% versus 67.5%, p = 0.08 and 74.2% versus 83.7%, p = 0.10, respectively). The proportion of ruptured aneurysms slightly increased between the two periods (24.6% versus 29.5%, p = 0.44). CONCLUSIONS Over the first decade of its availability, the WEB device usage shifted towards smaller aneurysms and broader indications, including ruptured aneurysms. The oversizing strategy also became the standard of practice for WEB deployment in our institution.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term compaction, compression, migration, and recurrence rates of the WovenEndoBridge devices remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to detect these rates and safety profiles of the WovenEndoBridge within 7 years period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-three aneurysms of 79 patients treated with the WovenEndoBridge device were retrospectively evaluated using an occlusion scale (e.g. complete occlusion, neck remnant, and aneurysm remnant) on angiography images. RESULTS The residual aneurysm was observed in 11 (13%) aneurysms. The mean and median diameters of the recurrent aneurysms were 6 and 7 mm. Most of the recurrent aneurysms were complex type and/or ruptured. Mean diameters and the neck-to-body ratios of all residual aneurysms in the preoperative imaging exams were above 4 mm and 0.6, respectively. The median values of preoperative height and neck measurements were higher in the recurrent aneurysms than in the adequate occlusion group (p = 0.006, p = 0.019, respectively). There was a statistically significant positive relationship between preoperative height/neck measurements and the mean diameters of residual aneurysms (rs = 0.32 and p = 0.003; rs = 0.28 and p = 0.011, respectively). The WovenEndoBridge compaction/compression and migration were observed in 5 (45%) and 2 (18%) of the recurrent aneurysms. In 7 (64%) of the residual aneurysms, thrombosed areas were found within the aneurysm. In the follow-up period, four aneurysms (4.8%) were retreated due to widened residual aneurysm. Other aneurysms were improved or stable within 7 years. DISCUSSION Our adequate occlusion rate was 87%. Occlusion rates are less favorable than aneurysms with a long height, wide neck, or high neck-to-body ratio. Our study confirms the high safety and efficiency of the WovenEndoBridge. Compaction, compression, and/or migration of the WovenEndoBridge and the presence of intra-aneurysmal thrombosis are the main reasons for the recurrences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aim to compare the safety and efficacy of WEB with coiling for acutely ruptured aneurysms.METHODS: All consecutive ruptured aneurysms with width suitable for WEB (2-10 mm) treated over 5 years (1/1/2015 to 31/12/2019) were included. We recorded WFNS, Fisher grade, patient demographics and aneurysm characteristics (size, location, D/W and aspect ratio, lobulation). Primary endpoints were mRS status at 3 months, aneurysm occlusion on latest available imaging follow-up, retreatment rate and procedural complications. We applied propensity score matching using aneurysm morphology (size, D/N ratio, ASPECT ratio and lobulation) to optimise matching for WEB versus coil comparison and minimise the effects of confounding. RESULT A total of 493 patients were identified, 97 treated with the WEB device. 1:1 propensity score matching was used to establish a matched group of 97 patients treated with coiling. The WEB arm showed 3% procedural complication rate, with no haemorrhagic complications and use of adjunctive device in 4%. Satisfactory occlusion on follow-up (mean 14 months) was 79%, with 19% retreatment rate. The coil arm had 8% complication rate, with use of an adjunctive device in 52% of cases (balloon 44%, stent 8%). Satisfactory occlusion on follow-up (mean 22 months) was 90%, with 8% retreatment rate. CONCLUSION Treatment of ruptured wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms with WEB has a lower complication rate than coiling with high rate of satisfactory occlusion. However, there was a higher retreatment rate when compared with patients treated with coiling. An adjunct device (balloon or stent), was used in over 50% of aneurysms in the coiling group.
