Silk flow diverter

I am curious to know if anyone has this procedure for their aneurysm instead of coils & stent? I see many have had the PED, but I am being offered the SILK flow diverter…anyone have this one?

Dee, you may want to post this in general discussion, as it is possible that folks outside Canada have had this procedure.

The flow diverter is fairly new but with a success rate similar to that of the coiling procedure. I’ll see if I can find some info for you.

I realize your post is from January so I may be late with this info but here you go.
