The Medtronic Pipeline Flex with Shield Technology (REF PED-500-20) is a braided, self-expanding flow diverter intended for endovascular reconstruction of intracranial arteries. This 5.00 mm x 20 mm configuration is part of the Pipeline Flex family and incorporates Shield Technology, a phosphorylcholine surface modification of the implant designed to reduce material thrombogenicity. The device is delivered through a microcatheter-based system engineered for controlled deployment, resheathing, and accurate positioning across the aneurysm neck.

Key Features
Braided cobalt-chromium and platinum-tungsten wire construction for radial support and fluoroscopic visibility.
Phosphorylcholine surface treatment (Shield Technology) intended to reduce material thrombogenicity.
Resheathable and repositionable delivery system for controlled placement.
Nominal expanded diameter 5.00 mm; nominal working length 20 mm.
Designed for use with compatible Medtronic delivery microcatheters per manufacturer instructions for use.

Clinical Applications
Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms via flow diversion across the aneurysm neck.
Reconstruction of the parent artery in selected wide-neck, large, or giant aneurysm anatomies as defined by the manufacturer's IFU.
Use by trained interventional neuroradiologists or neuroendovascular specialists in appropriately equipped neurovascular suites.
