Many were fully polymeric (typically poly\u2013L-lactic acid or polycaprolactone) or used biodegradable metals (FeMnN), often in polymer\u2013metal hybrid configurations. Approximately 30% were deliverable via standard microcatheters, while about 30% required balloon expansion for wall apposition. In vivo aneurysm models, showed that 61% of BRFDs induced\u2009\u2265\u200980% aneurysm sac occlusion and 33% achieved complete occlusion by final follow-up. These occlusions typically appeared by 3\u20136 months post-implantation. No parent or jailed branch vessel occlusions were reported. About half of devices fully degraded by study end, and even after polymer or magnesium resorption any integrated radiopaque markers remained in place; importantly, no significant chronic inflammation or vessel stenosis was observed post-resorption.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No BRFD has yet entered clinical practice.
