TY - JOUR T1 - Double microcatheter technique for detachable coil treatment of large, wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. JF - American Journal of Neuroradiology JO - Am. J. Neuroradiol.

In the initial attempts at embolization, evidence of coil instability within the aneurysm or significant impingement of coil loops on the parent artery was observed. Advancement of a second microcatheter into the aneurysm allowed two coils to be braced across the aneurysmal neck before the detachment of either coil. This technique permitted successful coil treatment in both patients. ER -
