A Collagen-Based Coil for Embolization of Saccular Aneurysms in a New Zealand White Rabbit Model

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, platinum coils often fail to elicit a fibrotic response. We tested the hypothesis that a new, collagen-based endovascular coil would improve angiographic and histologic outcomes as compared with those achieved with platinum coils in a rabbit model of saccular aneurysms.
