Flow diversion for the treatment of distal circulation aneurysms: A randomized comparison

Flow diversion (FD) has expanded beyond initial indications (proximal carotid artery aneurysms) to include distal circulation aneurysms (on the anterior, middle, or posterior cerebral arteries). Our objective was to examine results obtained from aneurysms in these locations in the Flow Diversion in the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms Trial (FIAT) which compared FD with alternative standard management options (ASMO).
