During an aneurysm coiling procedure, doctors introduce acatheterinto an artery in the upper leg through a small, quarter-inch incision. This catheter is guided up into an artery in the neck that is feeding the brain. From there, a smaller, thinner micro-catheter (about the size of a thin...
aneurysm: a bulge or weakening of an arterial wall. coiling: a procedure to insert platinum coils into an aneurysm; performed during an angiogram. craniotomy: surgical opening in the skull. embolization: inserting material, coil or glue, into an aneurysm so blood can no longer flow through it...
In contrast to open surgery, a minimally invasive option is endovascular coiling. It is performed during an angiogram in the radiology department. During a coiling procedure, a catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin and then passed through the blood vessels to the aneurysm in the bra...
Figure 1. Most aneurysms resemble a balloon, with a narrow neck at the origin and a large expanding dome. During a coiling procedure, a catheter is inserted into the aneurysm and coils are packed inside the dome. Coils promote blood clotting, which closes off the aneurysm and eliminates the ...
aneurysm. (C) Using a dual microcatheter technique, the aneurysm dome and extrusion was coiled. Asterisk reveals 2 microcatheters in the BA. (D) Short-term follow-up after discharge reveals an interval increase in fusiform aneurysm with coil compaction. (E) Stent-assisted coiling of aneurysm ...
