PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) filled with collagen threads in the permanent treatment of experimental aneurysms. METHODS: Seventeen side-wall aneurysms were surgically constructed in the canine common carotid artery; six were treated with conventional GDCs and 11 with collagen-filled GDCs. One aneurysms was removed at 1 week, the others were studied by digital subtraction angiography for a period of 8 to 12 weeks. Longitudinal sections of all aneurysms were examined by light microscopy. RESULTS: Angiograms obtained throughout the follow-up period showed no significant difference between aneurysms treated with conventional GDCs and those treated with collagen-filled GDCs. Light microscopy revealed a dense meshwork of newly formed collagen and fibroblasts near the collagen-filled GDCs, whereas a loose cellular meshwork surrounded the conventional GDCs at 8 and 12 weeks after treatment. CONCLUSION: Collagen threads within GDCs do not noticeably improve angiographic treatment of experimental aneurysms; however, these threads did induce local proliferation of fibroblasts and production of collagen within the aneurysmal cavities.
