Abstract

Purpose: Endovascular therapy with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is a safe treatment approach, whereby neoendothelialization at the neck area is a crucial element for aneurysm occlusion. We hypothesized that WEB sizing at the aneurysmal neck level has an impact on early aneurysm occlusion. Methods: Patients with short-term follow-up digital subtraction angiography following WEB treatment of unruptured aneurysms were included. Aneurysms were categorized according to the Bicêtre Occlusion Scale Score (BOSS) as adequately (BOSS 0, 0′, 1) or partially occluded (BOSS 2, 3, 1 + 3). The WEB device dimensions, including the average aneurysm diameter (AADi) and the average neck diameter (ANDi) as well as baseline patient characteristics were documented. Results: In this study 75 patients with 76 aneurysms were included and 65 aneurysms showed adequate occlusion at short-term follow-up (86%). In univariable logistic regression analysis, smaller differences in WEB size to ANDi (D-ANDi) were significantly associated with adequate aneurysm occlusion (odds ratio, OR = 0.41, 95% confidence interval, CI 0.23–0.71, p = 0.002). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses displayed higher discriminative power for the D‑ANDi (AUC = 0.77, 95% CI 0.66–0.86, cut-off ≤2.9 mm) compared to the difference in WEB size to the average aneurysm diameter (D-AADi, AUC = 0.65, 95% CI 0.53–0.75, cut-off ≤1.0 mm). Conclusion: Smaller differences between the WEB width and ANDi were associated with adequate early aneurysm occlusion and might thus have a higher impact on the results than the traditional device sizing considering the mean aneurysm diameter. D‑ANDi ≤2.9 mm served as an optimal cut-off to classify occlusion after WEB treatment at the short-term follow-up. Further external validation is warranted.
