Angiographic assessment of the efficacy of flow diverter treatment for cerebral aneurysms.

Device-induced intra-aneurysmal flow alterations quantified by simple aneurysmal time-density curves can potentially be used to predict long-term outcomes of flow diversion. Large multi-center studies will be required to confirm these findings. Patient-to-patient variability in coagulation may need to be incorporated for clinically relevant predictive values.
