Guglielmi's Detachable Coil

Closure of Small Patent Ductus Arteriosus by Occluding Detachable Coil

Immediately detachable coil for aneurysm treatment.

We developed an endovascular coil that is instantly detached by high-frequency electrical current. By applying the electrical current, a polyvinyl alcohol junction between the coil and the delivery wire is disrupted by heat within a second. This detachment system was shown to be reliable in the treatment of experimental aneurysms.

Transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistula using Guglielmi detachable coil

BACKGROUND Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare anomaly. Transcatheter CAF closure has been introduced using various materials, but only few data are available on the Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC). The advantage of using GDC for transcatheter CAF closure is more controllable, therefore much safer when compared to other coils. This report is about our experience in transcatheter closure of ...

Preliminary experience with an electrolytically detachable fibered coil.

We report our preliminary experience with a new embolic device, the electrolytically detachable fibered coil, in the treatment of four patients with high-flow arteriovenous shunting.
