Thromboembolic Events Associated with Electrolytic Detachment of Guglielmi Detachable Coils and Target Coils : Comparison with Use of Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate and compare the incidence of diffusion-weighted image (DWI) lesions between the Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) and the Target coil for treating unruptured intracranial aneurysm. METHODS From 2010 to 2011, consecutive 222 patients with an intracranial aneurysm underwent coil embolization. Inclusion criterias were : 1) unruptu...
متن کاملCerebral aneurysms treated by Guglielmi detachable coils: evaluation with diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The most frequent and serious complications of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) are ischemic lesions caused by thromboembolic events. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging appears to be the most sensitive technique for detecting early ischemic phenomena. We evaluated this technique for the detection of brain changes in patien...
متن کاملThromboembolic events associated with the treatment of cerebral aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence, radiologic appearance, and treatment of thromboembolic events related to GDC embolization of cerebral aneurysms. METHODS The clinical and radiologic records of all patients undergoing GDC treatment of intracranial aneurysms at our institution were reviewed. All cases in which unexpected complications occurred wer...
متن کاملSilent thromboembolic events associated with the treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms by use of Guglielmi detachable coils: prospective study applying diffusion-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysm embolization using Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC) is gaining increasing acceptance as a viable alternative to surgery in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Although recent reports describe a significant rate of symptomatic thromboembolic complications with GDC use, many of the neurologic deficits are transient. We sought to determine the incidence of silent t...
متن کاملTechnical problems associated with new designs of Guglielmi detachable coils.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, we experienced several technical problems that were directly related to new designs of Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). We herein present cases involving those problems and propose probable causes. METHODS We reviewed the clinical and angiographic data of 269 consecutive patients with intracranial aneurysms who had been treated with GDCs between May 1996 and...
