Surface-modified flow diverter p48-MW-HPC: Preliminary clinical experience in 28 patients treated in two centers

Flow diversion is increasingly used for endovascular treatment of distal intracranial aneurysms and has led to the development of small diameter flow diverters such as p48-MW (phenox, Bochum, Germany). Use of flow diverters is limited, however, as patients require dual antiplatelet treatment to avoid thromboembolic complications. Hydrophilic Polymer Coating was developed to reduce platelet aggregation on the p48-MW (p48-MW-HPC). This study...
