Clinical data, including demographic characteristics, angiographic findings, and follow-up outcomes, were collected to assess postoperative and follow-up aneurysm occlusion rates. Complications and clinical outcomes were evaluated, with favorable outcomes defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0\u20132.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 72 patients harboring 75 aneurysms were included, with 47 aneurysms treated with TFD alone and 28 undergoing combined TFD and coiling. Fifty-six aneurysms in 53 patients underwent at least one digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination. The median follow-up duration at the final visit was 156.00\u202fdays, yielding a successful aneurysm occlusion rate of 78.57% (44\/56) and a median time to occlusion of 139.00\u202fdays. The complete occlusion rate was significantly higher in non-saccular aneurysms (92.86%, 13\/14) than in saccular aneurysms (64.29%, 27\/42). Severe stenosis (&amp;gt;50%) occurred in 3 of 55 stents (5.45%). Among 67 patients (5 lost to follow-up), 4 ischemic and 8 hemorrhagic complications were recorded, with 97.01% of patients achieving an mRS score of 0\u20131.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Small-to-medium-sized aneurysms (maximum diameter &amp;lt;10\u202fmm) can be effectively managed with TFD alone. TFD demonstrates minimal impact on branch vessels, and patients with mild in-stent stenosis may be monitored without intervention. The TFD is safe and effective for treating various types of unruptured intracranial complex aneurysms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2025.1584983","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,16]],"date-time":"2025-06-16T16:17:54Z","timestamp":1750090674000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Tubridge flow-diverting stent for treatment of unruptured intracranial complex aneurysms"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Bao","family":"Juan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"655","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)30668-7","article-title":"Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage","volume":"389","author":"Macdonald","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1970","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2021.01.005","article-title":"Diagnosis and treatment of Unruptured intracranial aneurysms and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage","volume":"96","author":"Tawk","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"70","article-title":"The role of extra-and intracranial bypass in the treatment of complex aneurysms","volume":"60","author":"Cenzato","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Sci"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"775","DOI":"10.3171\/2016.8.JNS16467","article-title":"Safety and efficacy of the pipeline embolization device for treatment of intracranial aneurysms: a pooled analysis of 3 large studies","volume":"127","author":"Kallmes","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1304","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199812000-00020","article-title":"Complex intracranial aneurysms: combined operative and endovascular approaches","volume":"43","author":"Hacein-Bey","year":"1998","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"492","DOI":"10.3969\/j.issn.1672-5921.2021.07.011","article-title":"Expert consensus on imaging interpretation of intracranial aneurysms.
