OBJECTIVE: To review the literature on @entity1652 ( @entity1652 ) treatments for @entity438 ( @entity438 ) and to compare the safety and efficacy of FDDs with coil embolization treatment (CET) for @entity438 using a meta-analysis of published studies. METHODS: A systematic electronic search was conducted of PubMed, Springer Link, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Database on all accessible published articles through September 2015. Abstracts, full-text manuscripts, and the reference lists of retrieved articles were analyzed. Studies that explicitly compared @entity1652 and CET approaches to the treatment of @entity438 were included. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated for the complete occlusion rate and the morbidity rate using a random-effects model. RESULTS: Nine studies were included in the analysis, containing retrospectively collected data for 863 @entity1 . @entity1652 treatment showed a significantly higher complete occlusion rate than CET (OR  = 3.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.11-4.65) and the subgroup of stent-assisted coiling did (OR  = 2.08; 95% CI, 1.34-3.24). FDDs did not achieve a significantly lower overall morbidity rate compared with CET (OR  = 0.87; 95% CI, 0.45-1.69) or the SAC (stent-assisted coiling) subgroup (OR  = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.33-2.26), and our results did not show a significant difference in mortality between the two techniques. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1652 treatment of @entity438 yielded satisfactory results in complete occlusion rate compared with CET. The @entity1652 procedure is feasible and has no significant difference in morbidity risk. Despite the findings reported herein, further validation with well-designed, multicenter randomized controlled trials is needed.
