To address these issues, the authors describe the evolution in the design and use of the eCLIPs (Endovascular Clip System) device, a novel hybrid stent-like assist device with flow diverter properties that was first described in 2008.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A registry was established covering 13 international centers at which patients were treated with the second-generation eCLIPs device. Aneurysm morphology and rupture status, device neck coverage, coil retention, and procedural and late morbidity and mortality were recorded. For those patients who had undergone successful implantation more than 6 months earlier, the final imaging and clinical follow-up results and need for re-treatment were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty-three patients were treated between June 2013 and September 2015. Twenty-five (76%) patients had successful placement of an eCLIPs device; 23 (92%) of these 25 patients had complete data. Eight cases of nondeployment occurred during the 1st year of use, consistent with a learning curve; no failures of deployment occurred thereafter. Two periprocedural transient ischemic attacks and 2 asymptomatic thrombotic events occurred. Twenty-one (91%) of 23 patients underwent follow-up at an average of 8 months (range 3\u201318 months); 9 (42.9%) of these 21 patients demonstrated an improvement in Raymond grade at follow-up; no cases of worsening Raymond grade were recorded, and 17 (81.0%) patients sustained a modified Raymond-Roy Classification class of I or II angiographic result at follow-up. Two delayed ruptures were recorded, both in previously coiled, symptomatic giant aneurysms where the device was used as a part of a salvage strategy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The second-generation eCLIPs device is a viable treatment option for bifurcation aneurysms. The aneurysm occlusion rates in this initial clinical series are comparable to the initial experience with other bifurcation support devices.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2016.10.jns161731","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,17]],"date-time":"2017-03-17T14:00:49Z","timestamp":1489759249000},"page":"482-489","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["The second-generation eCLIPs Endovascular Clip System: initial experience"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"Albert H.","family":"Chiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurovascular Program,"},{"name":"Department of Medical Imaging, University of Toronto, Ontario;"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joost","family":"De Vries","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cian J.","family":"O'Kelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, University of Alberta, Calgary, Alberta; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Howard","family":"Riina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, NYU School of Medicine, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ian","family":"McDougall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evasc Medical Systems Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Tippett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evasc Medical Systems Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evasc Medical Systems Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Airton Leonardo","family":"de Oliveira Manoel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Keenan Research Centre, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas R.","family":"Marotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Imaging, University of Toronto, Ontario;"},{"name":"Diagnostic and Therapeutic Neuroradiology, St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-jns161731","series-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"965","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A3807","article-title":"Coil occlusion of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms assisted by a novel intra- to extra-aneurysmatic neck-bridging device (pCONus): initial experience","volume":"35","author":"Aguilar-P\u00e9rez M,","year":"2014","unstructured":"Aguilar-P\u00e9rez M, Kurre W, Fischer S, B\u00e4zner H, Henkes H: Coil occlusion of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms assisted by a novel intra- to extra-aneurysmatic neck-bridging device (pCONus): initial experience.
