C, Angiogram obtained before euthanasia and 4 weeks after coil implantation shows no change.

D, Photomicrograph reveals mostly unorganized blood filling the aneurysmal cavity and a thin fibrin rim covering the coils (arrows) (hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification x6.3). The neck of the aneurysm is covered with thin fibrin rim (arrowheads).
