Delayed reconfiguration of a Guglielmi detachable coil mass associated with late occlusion of an adjacent aneurysm and parent vessel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of asymptomatic, progressive, late occlusion of the left superior cerebellar artery (SCA) and an aneurysm arising from the junction of the SCA and basilar artery after embolization of an adjacent aneurysm arising between the left posterior cerebral artery and the left SCA. The delayed occlusion was associated with reconfiguration of the Guglielmi detachable coils at the neck of the treated aneurysm.

Topic review: surface modifications enhancing biological activity of guglielmi detachable coils in treating intracranial aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Endovascular therapy with Guglielmi detachable coils is an accepted treatment option for patients with intracranial aneurysms. However, an emerging technology in the realm of endovascular tools is the use of traditional Guglielmi detachable coils with biologically active substances complexed to the coil surface to enhance aneurysm occlusion. METHODS We review the literature and cur...
متن کاملEmbolization of intracranial aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils augmented by microballoons.
We describe two cases in which balloons were used to aid in the occlusion of intracranial aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils. In both patients, initial attempts to place coils within the aneurysmal sac failed, as the loops of the coil repeatedly protruded through a wide aneurysmal neck into the parent vessel. Temporary balloons placed across the neck of these small, wide-necked aneurysms...
متن کاملTreatment of experimental canine carotid aneurysms with platinum coils.
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the deliverability, positioning, stability, and effectiveness of aneurysm occlusion and the incidence of parent-artery thrombosis of two different types of platinum coils, using a canine carotid aneurysm model. METHODS 29 experimental canine carotid aneurysms (19 lateral, 6 bifurcation, and 4 terminal) were constructed and treated with complex-shaped fibered pl...
متن کاملIsolated dissecting aneurysm of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery: endovascular treatment with a Guglielmi detachable coil.
An isolated progressive dissecting aneurysm of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) associated with a persistent trigeminal artery was successfully treated by endovascular occlusion of the proximal PICA with a Guglielmi detachable coil.
متن کاملCombined use of stents and coils to treat experimental wide-necked carotid aneurysms: preliminary results.
PURPOSE To develop a new technique to treat wide-necked side-wall aneurysms, combining the implantation of intraarterial stents with the endosaccular placement of coils. METHODS Bilateral side-wall aneurysms were surgically created on the carotid arteries of four dogs. In each animal, Guglielmi detachable coils were introduced into one of the aneurysms after implantation of a balloon-expandab...
