چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and reliability of the mechanical detachment system of a new platinum coil, Detach-18, when used as a vascular occlusive device for neurovascular disease. METHODS Forty-one patients (nine male and 32 female patients; age range, 26-75 years; mean age, 54.4 years) underwent treatment at seven centers. Twenty-two patients had dural arteriovenous fistulae of the transverse sinus treated by a transvenous route. Fourteen patients underwent internal carotid artery occlusion in the treatment of aneurysms, meningioma, facial tumor, or carotid injury. One patient underwent occlusion of the basilar artery and one patient underwent occlusion of the vertebral artery for treatment of aneurysms. In two patients, coils were used as part of the treatment of their arteriovenous malformations. In all cases, the Detach-18 coils were delivered through a microcatheter with two distal markers. Two types of coils, a 0.015-inch-diameter "regular" coil and a 0.014-inch-diameter "soft" coil, were used. RESULTS A total of 569 coils were used, 541 of which were detached. The number of coils in ranged from four to 53 (average number of coils, 14). The coils passed easily through the microcatheter. The detachment maneuver occurred within 10 to 25 s with 20 turns of the introducing wire. No premature coil detachment occurred. Complete occlusion of the vessel lumen was achieved in 35 cases. In three cases, 80% to 90% occlusion was achieved. In two cases, 70% to 80% occlusion was achieved. There were no device-related complications. CONCLUSION The detachment system was safe, reliable, consistent, and fast. This is a useful system for coil embolization in neurovascular applications.

Anatomically conformable, three-dimensional, detachable platinum microcoil system for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The configurations of detachable platinum coils have evolved over the last decade. Our objective was to assess the efficacy of the anatomically conformable three-dimensional (ACT) detachable platinum microcoil in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. METHODS A series of 141 patients presented between May 2000 and August 2002 to a single neurointerventionalist for end...
متن کاملThrombosis in giant basilar tip aneurysms during coil embolization.
Two patients with giant basilar tip aneurysms underwent coil embolization, one with both platinum fiber and platinum Guglielmi detachable coils and the other with Guglielmi detachable coils only. In both cases, spontaneous intraaneurysmal thrombosis occurred outside the coil mass, presumably a result of disruption of the intraaneurysmal flow pattern.

The article by Cekirge et al in this issue of the AJNR (1) is another chapter in the growing use and recognition of coils as an endovascular method to treat cerebral aneurysms. In this paper, the authors report their experience with the use of the interlocking detachable coil (IDC) as an alternative to the recognized and increasingly used Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC). Having used the IDC suc...
