Abstract
Introduction Endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms has been evolving. Since the results of the ISAT and BRAT trial were published, multiple advancement of endovascular devices and procedures have occurred. The aim of this study is to share interim results for large aneurysms (> 10 mm) treated within the STERLING registry.
Methods The STERLING registry (NCT03642639) is a Prospective, Multi-center, Single Arm Study to Obtain ’Real World’ Clinical Data and Characterize the Acute and Long-term Performance of the MICRUSFRAME and GALAXY Coils including the PulseRider Aneurysm Neck Reconstruction Device for the Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms (Cerenovus, Irvine, CA). The primary endpoint was adequate occlusion rate without retreatment at 12 months measured by Independent Core Lab. Secondary outcome measures were packing density, good functional outcome (mRS 0-2), as well as device-related serious events and retreatment rate within 1-year.
Results Among the 450 subjects in the STERLING interim analysis, 44 patients had large aneurysms. Mean (Standard Deviation [SD]) age was 60.6(11.35), and most patients were females (77.3%). Hypertension was prevalent in (59.1%) of the cohort, while half of the cohort were smokers and (13.6%) had a history of SAH. Baseline mRS score was 0 and 1 in 61.4% and 27.3%, respectively. Mean (SD) aneurysm height and width were 11.06 mm (3.78) and 10.67 mm (3.44), respectively. Most aneurysms were in the anterior circulation (84.1%) and (61.9%) were sidewall. Median (IQR) dome to neck ratio was 2.0 (1.70-2.65) and 35 (79.5%) aneurysms had a wide neck. Saccular aneurysm was the most common morphology (86.4%) and (27.3%) were ruptured aneurysms. Most common method of treatment was primary coiling (n=16) followed by coiling+flow diversion (n=12). Mean (SD) packing density was 16.8(8.88). Adequate occlusion on 1-year follow-up was achieved in 86.7% (13/15) and four patients required retreatment within 1-year, resulting in 66.7% (10/15) patients with adequate occlusion without retreatment. There was no occurrence of intraprocedural rupture nor symptomatic intraprocedural thromboembolic events. Clinical outcome was available for unruptured aneurysms for 1 year follow-up and good functional outcome was achieved in 85.7% (12/14). Device related significant adverse events occurred in 1 patient only (2.3%).
Conclusion Early results from the STERLING registry for large aneurysms are promising. Adequate occlusion per Independent Core Lab was achieved in 86.7% and retreatment rates were relatively low over 1-year follow-up. A good functional outcome was achieved in 85.7% of patients
