Matrix and bioabsorbable polymeric coils accelerate healing of intracranial aneurysms: long-term experimental study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acceleration of intra-aneurysmal clot organization and fibrosis may be a solution to preventing aneurysm recanalization after endovascular treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy and long-term safety of the new Matrix coil system. METHODS Matrix coils consist of thin platinum coils covered with a bioabsorbable, polymeric material (po...
متن کاملRole of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and MMP inhibitors on intracranial aneurysms: a review article
Cerebrovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the world, and about one-fourth of cerebrovascular deaths are due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms (CA). Hence it is important to find a way to reduce aneurysm formation and its subsequent morbidity and mortality. Proteolytic activity capable of lysing gelatin has been shown to be increased in aneurysm tissue and expressio...
متن کاملEndosaccular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using matrix coils: early experience and midterm follow-up.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The authors report their experience using Matrix coils in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. METHODS The outcomes of 72 consecutive patients (76 aneurysms) who underwent coiling using Matrix coils at our institution were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Seventy-four aneurysms in 70 patients were coiled using Matrix coils (ranging 3% to 100% by coil length; mean 68....
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with matrix coils: a preliminary study of immediate post-treatment results.
A new, coated bioactive coil has been developed to improve the long-term results of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The purpose of this preliminary study was to assess the feasibility and safety of selective embolization of intracranial aneurysms with Matrix coils in 20 consecutive patients.
متن کاملPeriprocedural complications associated with endovascular embolisation of intracranial ruptured aneurysms with matrix coils.
INTRODUCTION Matrix is a type of bioactive coil expected to produce healing of cerebral aneurysms. We reviewed periprocedural complications associated with endovascular embolisation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms with matrix coils and evaluated the effects of matrix coils. METHODS From October 2003 to September 2005, a total of 102 patients with 102 ruptured aneurysms and ten unruptured a...
