Balloon-assisted coil placement in wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms by use of a new, compliant balloon microcatheter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two types of balloon are usually employed to perform balloon-assisted coil placement in cerebral aneurysms: oval, guide-dependent balloons for sidewall aneurysms and round balloons for bifurcation aneurysms. We report on the use of a new, more compliant, guide-dependent oval balloon microcatheter to seal wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms with coils during endovascular occlusion.

Coil Embolization of Wide-Neck Bifurcation Aneurysms Using a Single-Balloon Microcatheter.
BACKGROUND Coil embolization of wide-neck cerebral aneurysms frequently requires stent or balloon assistance. Such approaches to coil embolization increase the procedural complexity, adding risk and cost. OBJECTIVE To describe a series of coil embolization procedures performed using a single-balloon microcatheter to treat wide-neck aneurysms and establish the safety, feasibility and efficacy ...
متن کاملHyperForm remodeling-balloon for endovascular treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms.
A new, very compliant remodeling balloon microcatheter has been developed for the treatment of difficult wide-neck intracranial aneurysms (eg, arterial bifurcation or small artery aneurysms). We report selective embolization by the use of the remodeling technique with the HyperForm balloon in 16 consecutive patients with a wide-neck intracranial aneurysm located on an arterial bifurcation or a ...
متن کاملThromboembolic events associated with balloon-assisted coil embolization: evaluation with diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thromboembolic events may occur during or after the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of thromboembolic events associated with balloon-assisted coil placement and to investigate possible risk factors for these events during balloon-assisted coil placement and embolization. ...
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms using a microcatheter protective technique: results and outcomes in 75 aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The microcatheter protective technique positions an additional microcatheter in the parent or side-branching artery to protect it during coil embolization. The purpose of this study was to describe this method and to evaluate its efficacy and safety as an alternative to a multiple-microcatheter or balloon- or stent-assisted technique for wide-neck aneurysms. MATERIALS A...
متن کاملBalloon-assisted coil embolization of wide-necked aneurysms of the internal carotid artery: medium-term angiographic and clinical follow-up in 22 patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The management of broad-necked cerebral aneurysms by Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) is technically challenging owing to a variety of factors, including difficulty in defining the aneurysm/parent vessel interface angiographically and problems in achieving complete occlusion, later predisposing the aneurysm to regrowth/recanalization. We sought to determine whether the u...
