This study introduces a new, hybrid embolic device that in addition to offering all the important
attributes of existing detachable platinum coils also shows an enhanced ability to fill …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Among the several reports of elastase-induced aneurysm
models, only the rabbit common carotid artery (CCA) model has been used for testing …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The development of more effective intracranial aneurysm
therapy depends on the ability to test various intravascular occlusion devices and techniques …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, platinum coils
often fail to elicit a fibrotic response. We tested the hypothesis that a new, collagen-based …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Reproducible animal models facilitate preclinical
assessment of aneurysm therapies. Our purpose was to determine if increased elastase doses …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Elastase-induced rabbit aneurysms offer promise in preclinical
testing, but their radiographic and histologic features after dense packing with platinum …

PURPOSE: To establish the relationship between elastin degradation and aneurysm growth
in New Zealand white rabbit model aneurysms, and to explore the potential for …

PURPOSE: To compare patency rates and degrees of neointimal hyperplasia between
bovine type 1 collagen stent-grafts and uncovered control stents in small-diameter vessels (<4 …

PURPOSE: To report an in-progress experiment in a canine model in which two types of
small-diameter stent-grafts— one constructed of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and the other of …

Background: SJMS is a relatively rare disease characterized by unilateral lung or lobe
permeability on chest X-rays and narrowing of pulmonary blood vessels at the site. The treatment …
