We aim to report retreatment strategies and outcomes after initial WEB embolizations.Methods Databases from four treatment centers, containing consecutive aneurysms treated with a WEB between 2013 and 2022, were reviewed. Demographics, aneurysm characteristics, retreatment strategies and outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results From a 756 WEB database, 57 aneurysms were included. The global retreatment rate was 7.5% (95% CI 5.6% to 9.4%). The retreatment rate was significantly higher in the ruptured compared with the unruptured population (13% vs 3.9%, respectively, P<0.0001). Aneurysms were retreated on average 21.2 months after the initial WEB treatment (range 4.8–70 months). Surgery was performed in 11% and endovascular treatment in 89% of cases, consisting of flow diversion (48%), stent-assisted coiling (30%), coiling (12%), and second WEB placement (10%). Imaging follow-up was available in 88% of all WEB retreatments (50/57) (average 17 months, 49% digital subtraction angiography), demonstrating complete occlusion in 56% and ‘adequate’ occlusion in 88%. Morbidity was 5.3% (95% CI 0% to 12.0%) and mortality 0%. No patient experienced rebleeding during the follow-up period.Conclusion The retreatment rate after an initial WEB treatment seems to compare favorably with that of coiling. Endovascular treatment of recurrence following WEB implantation is feasible in most situations; it generally requires the use of a stent and leads to a high rate of satisfactory occlusion.Data are available upon reasonable request.
