There were 2 intraprocedural thromboembolic events (20%), including 1 symptomatic infarction and 1 delayed PED thrombosis. Eight of 10 patients returned to or improved from their baseline functional status. Complete aneurysm occlusion with parent vessel preservation was achieved in 75% (6\/8) of cases at mean follow-up of 16.7 mo. Eleven of 12 (92%) major branch vessels covered by a PED remained patent. Including the present study, systematic review of 15 studies found a complete aneurysm occlusion rate of 88% (30\/34) and complication rate of 26% (10\/38), including 5 symptomatic ischemic strokes (13%; 5\/38). Fusiform aneurysms more frequently completely occluded compared with saccular aneurysms (100% vs 70%;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .03)
