Numerical Investigation of Coil Configurations That Provide Ultra-High Packing Density of Saccular Aneurysms

摘要

BackgroundThe long-term outcome of endovascular coiling of cerebral aneurysms is directly related to the packing density at time of treatment. In general, the highest packing density achievable is only about 45% due to the quasi-random distribution of currently available coils within aneurysms. We investigated whether packing densities could be maximized via more ordered coil configurations.
