Abstract The progressive establishment of endovascular management in treating intracranial aneurysms had lead to continuous technique advancements and development of innovative technologies. Flow diverters are “stent-like” devices currently used for complex unruptured aneurysms allowing endoluminal reconstruction of the parent artery and occlusion of the aneurysm sac. In the present article, we review the development of flow diversion devices through in vitro and in vivo studies to clinical practice and summarize recent clinical data.
