Fig 1. An unruptured terminal left internal carotid aneurysm is seen before (A) and immediately after (B) coil embolization. Coil loops protrude slightly into the parent artery (arrow, B). Thirty minutes after coil embolization, thrombus has formed within the arteries adjacent to the coils (C) and embolized to distal branches (arrows, D).
