Loop microcatheter technique for coil embolization of paraclinoid aneurysms
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Acta Neurochirurgica"
DOI: 10.1007/s00701-018-3642-5
Abstract: BackgroundAlthough paraclinoid aneurysms do not exhibit a high risk of rupture, coil embolization is not always easy because of unstable microcatheter position. We present a technique that allows a stable microcatheter position for coil embolization… read more here.
