Does electrothrombosis occur immediately after embolization of an aneurysm with Guglielmi detachable coils?

Current options for treating cerebral aneurysms include surgical clipping and placement of Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). The latter system is reported to induce acute aneurysmal occlusion by a mechanism of electrothrombosis. We report our observations in the case of a ruptured aneurysm treated with GDCs and then surgically exposed 2 hours later. The lack of thrombus within the aneurysm and around the coils led us to question the mechanism of action of GDCs.
