Guglielmi detachable coil extraction: suction generated by pusher-wire withdrawal after coil detachment within an intracranial aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of Guglielmi detachable coil extraction into a microcatheter after coil detachment during embolization of a superior hypophyseal artery aneurysm; extraction was a result of the suction generated during pusher-wire withdrawal. Experimental simulations using many coil and microcatheter combinations were used to identify factors that contribute to the likelihood of this phenomenon.

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 کاملUse of three-dimensional Guglielmi detachable coils in the treatment of wide-necked cerebral aneurysms.
A three-dimensional Guglielmi detachable coil (3D-GDC) has been developed that is designed specifically to bridge the neck of an aneurysm with coil loops, thereby facilitating retention of additional coils placed within the aneurysm. Nine wide-necked cerebral aneurysms were successfully embolized using the 3D-GDC, provided that the dome-to-neck ratio was 1.5 or greater.

OBJECTIVE Device- or technique-related air embolism is a drawback of various neuro-endovascular procedures. Detachable aneurysm embolization coils can be sources of such air bubbles. We therefore assessed the formation of air bubbles during in vitro delivery of various detachable coils. MATERIALS AND METHODS A closed circuit simulating a typical endovascular coiling procedure was primed with ...
