Indications, Safety, and Warnings

Description

Pipeline™ embolization devices are the reference in flow diversion, grounded by 10 years of experience and the highest number of clinical studies.1,† These devices changed the treatment of aneurysms. By diverting flow away from the aneurysm neck and reconstructing the parent artery, they allow the flow to restore its natural course.

† Please note that some of these studies were conducted OUS and may not comply with the U.S indications for use. See IFU for U.S indication. Pipeline embolization device (Classic) is no longer commercially distributed.

Features

3rd generation Pipeline™ flow diverter offers Shield Technology™

Legacy of the Pipeline™ flow diverters, this third generation of flow diverters offers an alternative solution for the treatment of aneurysms.

This device is made of 48 braids: 36 cobalt-chromium and 12 platinum wires for radiopacity.

Surface modification

Shield Technology™ is a surface modification where inert synthetic phosphorylcholine (PC) polymer is covalently-chemically-bonded to the strands that make up the Pipeline™ device implant.2

Clinical results

PFlex study

Study shows that Pipeline™ Flex with Shield Technology™ is safe and effective for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

  • 0% target aneurysm recurrence3
  • 0% major stroke in the territory supplied by the treated artery3

Device delivery

Delivering flow diverters

It is recommended to use a 0.027" micro catheter for the delivery of Pipeline™ Flex with Shield Technology™ flow diverters.
