description |
Since the endosaccular coil embolization technique was introduced as an alternative for treating
selected patients with aneurysms, it has become a mainstay of treatment for cerebral aneurysms.
In lesions with a neck larger than the aneurysmal body, an irregular shape, or arterial
branches incorporated within the sac, endovascular treatment using detachable coils are traditionally
contraindicated because of technical difficulties. Coil embolization has evolved as a result
of both the development of related devices and the introduction of technical improvements
using various devices. Use of various technical and device options can make endovascular treatment
of cerebral aneurysms safer and can widen the treatment indications. Various technical
options, including the technical modification of device-assisted techniques, will be presented,
and the related practical points will be discussed in this issue. |
