Treatment of intracranial aneurysms

DERIVO® and DERIVO® mini Embolisation Device

A new concept for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is the implantation of stents that guide the blood flow away from the diseased vessel part. So called „endoluminal embolisation devices“ or „flow diverters“ have a compact mesh system and lead in the long term to a closure of the aneurysm by reconstruction of the original vessel wall and the change of haemodynamic conditions inside the aneurysm.
