The Maze-Making and Solving Technique for Coil Embolization of Large and Giant Aneurysms

摘要

These authors describe the use of 2 intra-aneurysmal catheters to deploy first large coils and then smaller, more traditional coils that ultimately fill the interstices left by the larger coils until aneurysms are tightly packed. When this technique was used to occlude large/giant aneurysms, follow-up angiography revealed no recurrences compared with nearly 40% in a group of similar lesions treated in conventional fashion.
