Cases requiring PED deployment within the Navien catheter were reviewed. Data was collected for patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, and technical details of the interventional procedure.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Eleven PED neurointerventions requiring intra-Navien PED deployment to fully open the PED were identified. Mean patient age was 55.5\u00b19.9\u2005years (range 37\u201376\u2005years). Mean aneurysm size was 12.5\u2005mm\u00b14.9\u2005mm (range 2\u201342\u2005mm). All aneurysms were located in the anterior circulation (anterior cerebral artery, n=1; supraclinoid, n=1; ophthalmic\/paraophthalmic, n=6; cavernous, n=3; petrocervical, n=1). Mean fluoroscopy time was 67.1\u00b120.5\u2005min. The intra-Navien technique was used to open the proximal PED (n=7) and the mid-portion (n=4). Post-processing of the PED with a balloon was used in six cases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>When a partially deployed PED remains constrained despite exhaustion of standard maneuvers to facilitate opening, the technique of intra-Navien PED deployment is a valuable rescue strategy. This new alternative method of PED deployment can be used to open a stretched device with successful completion of the PED implantation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2015-011771","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,22]],"date-time":"2015-06-22T21:45:09Z","timestamp":1435009509000},"page":"840-846","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Intra-DIC (distal intracranial catheter) deployment of the Pipeline embolization device: a novel rescue strategy for failed device expansion"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6963-9799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li-Mei","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, UC Irvine Medical Center, Orange, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey P","family":"Colby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bowen","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neelesh","family":"Nundkumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judy","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael J","family":"Tamargo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander L","family":"Coon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2013.01.051"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.2","first-page":"114","article-title":"Immediate and follow-up results for 44 consecutive cases of small (<10 mm) internal carotid artery aneurysms treated with the pipeline embolization device","volume":"4","author":"Lin","year":"2014","journal-title":"Surg Neurol Int"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A3166"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/NEU.0000000000000431"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A3246"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A3692"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e6","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2011-010234","article-title":"In situ removal of the Pipeline embolization device: the \u2018corking\u2019 and \u2018pseudo-corking\u2019 techniques","volume":"5","author":"Colby","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Neurointerv Surg"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2013-011009.rep"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2012-010299"},{"key":"2025092911021385000_8.8.840.10","unstructured":"Casserly IP , Sachar R , Yaday JS .
