The Effect of Aspirin Use Following Woven EndoBridge Treatment: A Multicenter Study with Propensity Score Matching
BACKGROUND: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device has emerged as a promising option for treating wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative aspirin (ASA) use on clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients treated with the WEB device. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective multicenter study across 10 academic institutions, analyzing patients with ruptured or unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with the WEB device. RESULTS: = 0.003), whereas the other outcomes did not reach statistical significance after matching. CONCLUSION: Postoperative aspirin use following WEB device treatment for intracranial aneurysms was associated with significantly lower retreatment rates, without compromising functional outcomes or mortality rates. These findings support the potential role of aspirin in enhancing aneurysm stability. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm.
