Record Status This is a bibliographic record of a published health technology assessment from a member of INAHTA. No evaluation of the quality of this assessment has been made for the HTA database. Citation Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Health Technology Assessment (LBI-HTA). Endovascular embolisation of intracranial aneurysms with Flow Diverter. Vienna: Ludwig Boltzmann Institut fuer Health Technology Assessment (LBIHTA). Decision Support Document No. 83. 2015 Authors' conclusions There is moderate evidence for efficacy using the angiographic surrogate parameter aneurysm occlusion in a large percentage of treated aneurysms.
The current evidence is, however, not sufficient to prove, that the assessed technology of endovascular embolization with flow diverters is more effective and safe with regards to clinical outcomes than no treatment, endovascular coiling or surgical clipping.
The re-evaluation is recommended in 2017, provided that data from randomised controlled trials will be available at that time.
