BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies varied in their conclusions about the
superiority of second-generation coils compared with bare platinum. In this systematic …

Second-generation coils have been available since 2002. We wanted to assess their
performance and appraise available evidence. Therefore we performed a systematic review …

Endovascular coil embolization is a widely accepted and useful treatment modality for
intracranial aneurysms. However, the principal limitation of this technique is the high …

OBJECTIVE The importance of a framing coil (FC)—the first coil inserted into an aneurysm
during endovascular coiling, also called a lead coil or a first coil—is recognized, but its …

Purpose After coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, it is currently not well understood
whether the initial coil packing density or the type of aneurysm residual perfusion, depicted …

BACKGROUND: Despite increasing acceptance of endovascular coiling for treating
intracranial aneurysms, incomplete occlusion remains a limitation. Attempts to reduce …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Reported rates of recanalization following coil
embolization vary widely across studies. Some confounders are known to affect outcomes …

Introduction Since coils were approved for aneurysm treatment, materials and techniques
developed rapidly. It still remains an open question whether one material or method is …

Background and Objective Stent-assisted coil embolization is an established endovascular
technique for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Although recanalization after coil …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stent-assisted coiling may result in less aneurysm
recanalization but more complications than coiling alone. We evaluated outcomes of coiling …
