The Evolution of Flow Diversion: Clinical & Technological Considerations & Learnings - 10+ Years Later

11:35 - 12:10

Expert Panel Discussion (25 min)

  • Critical design considerations (how far can we expect design changes to shift outcomes & practice?)
  • What are the key design differences (material, composition, porosity, radial force, etc.) among available flow diverters and how do they impact performance and quality?
  • How much of an impact is advanced imaging having on evidence of braid performance and should/will OCT play an even greater role in terms of periprocedural & post-procedural protocols?
  • Knowing some flow diverter cases are now being treated in outpatient facilities, what patient-specific factors influence the success and safety of these procedures?
