چکیده

We describe two cases of coil malpositioning that occurred during endovascular occlusion of saccular basilar tip aneurysms with fibered platinum microcoils. The technique of endovascular coil extraction, accomplished successfully and without complication in both cases, is described and may be applicable to recently available controlled-detachment coil systems.

Endovascular arterial occlusion accomplished using microcoils deployed with and without proximal flow arrest: results in 19 patients.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prior to their relatively recent FDA approval, detachable balloons for endovascular arterial occlusion had been available on only a limited basis. We evaluated the feasibility of permanent endovascular carotid and vertebral artery occlusion using microcoils deployed with and without proximal flow arrest in 19 patients. METHODS Permanent endovascular occlusion was perfor...

Coil embolization of an acutely ruptured saccular aneurysm.

Acutely ruptured intracerebral berry aneurysms are usually treated by surgical clipping. In some instances, however, an endovascular approach to aneurysm obliteration may be considered. Since the pioneering work of Serbinenko [1] and Shcheglov (paper presented at the annual meeting of the ASNR, March 1989), there has been encouraging progress in the endovascular treatment of intracranial berry ...

Endovascular microcoil gene delivery using immobilized anti-adenovirus antibody for vector tethering.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular microcoils are widely used in interventional procedures to treat cerebral aneurysms. In the present study we report for the first time successful use of an endovascular microcoil as a gene delivery system. METHODS Anti-adenoviral monoclonal antibodies were covalently attached to the collagen-coated surface of either platinum or polyglycolic acid microcoils....

An Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

Endovascular Treatment of a Dissected Celiac Trunk Aneurysm Complicated with Consequent Pseudoaneurysm: Primary Treatment and Treatment Relapse after 5 Years

We report on an asymptomatic 56-year-old male with incidental diagnosis of celiac trunk aneurysm, diagnosed during an ultrasound scan performed to control polycystic kidney disease. The CT scan revealed a 3.8 cm saccular aneurysm of the celiac artery dissected in the superior wall with a consequent 4.3 cm pseudoaneurysm; we adopted an endovascular approach to exclude the lesion by catheterizing...
