چکیده
OBJECTIVE To explore the treatment effects of HydroCoil Embolic System (HES) on large- and medium-sized intracranial aneurysms. METHODOLOGY Fifty cases of intracranial aneurysm patients were retrospectively analyzed, in which 27 and 23 cases were treated with HES (n=27) and ordinary coils (n=23), respectively. All the patients were followed up for two years. RESULTS The 27 cases (54%, 27/50) treated with HES include 23 cases of densely packed occlusion (46%, 23/50) and 4 cases of subtotal occlusion (8%, 4/50). The 23 cases (46%, 23/50) treated with ordinary coils include 15 cases of densely packed occlusion (30%, 15/50) and 8 cases of subtotal occlusion (16%, 8/50). CONCLUSION HydroCoil Embolic System (HES) may increase the ratio of densely packed occlusion and prevent the recurrence of large- and medium-sized intracranial aneurysms.

The next generation HydroCoil: initial clinical experience with the HydroFill embolic coil
BACKGROUND Complete packing of intracranial aneurysms has demonstrated a significant decrease in aneurysm recurrence rates with increased volumetric filling. The HydroCoil Embolization System (HES) was developed to increase volumetric filling within the aneurysm sac to maintain long term occlusion. To further enhance ease of HES deployment, a new next generation embolic coil, the HydroFill coil...
متن کاملEmbolization of intracranial aneurysms with hydrogel-coated coils versus inert platinum coils: effects on packing density, coil length and quantity, procedure performance, cost, length of hospital stay, and durability of therapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The durability of aneurysm coil embolization is thought to depend on packing density. The expansile property of hydrogel coating on coils increases volumetric packing per coil length. We describe our experience using hydrogel-coated coils (HydroCoils) compared with inert platinum coils in intracranial aneurysm embolization. METHODS Fifty aneurysms embolized primarily us...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The HydroCoil Endovascular Aneurysm Occlusion and Packing Study (HELPS) was a randomized, controlled trial comparing HydroCoils with bare-platinum coils. The purpose of this study was to perform a subgroup analysis of angiographic and clinical outcomes of medium-sized aneurysms in the HELPS trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with medium-sized aneurysms (5-9.9 mm) wer...

The HydroCoil Embolic System (HES; MicroVention, Aliso Viejo, CA) was developed to improve the efficacy of endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. The HES may reduce recurrences of aneurysms by allowing for increased packing density as compared with platinum coils. We report our initial experience with the HES in the treatment of 11 patients with cerebral aneurysms and compare findings to...
متن کاملHydroCoils, occlusion rates, and outcomes: a large single-center study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The HydroCoil is an expansile hydrogel coil designed to produce a greater degree of volumetric packing within cerebral aneurysms when compared with bare platinum coils. This increased packing is, in turn, believed to decrease the risk of recurrence within aneurysms and hence the risk of their rupture in the long term. The aim of this work was to assess whether the use of ...
