FIG 2. Case 2. Angiograms show a thrombotic complication that occurred during embolization with Guglielmi detachable coils; this was successfully treated with intraarterial abciximab.

A, Angiogram shows a bilobulated posterior communicating artery aneurysm.

B, Angiogram obtained after detachment of the last coil shows thrombotic occlusion of the parent artery.

C, Angiogram obtained 5 minutes after intraarterial infusion of abciximab (5 mg) through a guide catheter shows recanalization, although there remains a luminal narrowing of the parent artery due to the protruding coil mass.
