OBJECTIVE: The past 15 years have seen a revolution in the treatment of intracranial
aneurysms. Endovascular technology has evolved rapidly since the Food and Drug …

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Polyglycolic/polylactic acid (PGLA) addition to bare
platinum coils is intended to reduce the reopening rate of coiled intracranial aneurysms …

New coils have been designed to preserve the safety of coil embolization while improving
on long-term efficacy. There is currently no scientific evidence that one type of coil material is …

The proliferation of new endovascular devices and therapeutic strategies calls for a prudent
and rational evaluation of their clinical benefit. This evaluation must be done in an effective …

In this issue, the results of the Matrix and Platinum Science (MAPS) trial provide level 1
evidence that there is no beneficial effect of the polymer-modified Matrix detachable coil …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Novel stratagems to improve the efficacy of platinum coils
in occluding cerebral aneurysms have primarily involved coating coils with materials thought …

Sažetak Cilj liječenja intrakranijskih aneurizmi sprječavanje je rupture. Dugo vremena jedini
izbor bio je neurokirurški zahvat postavljanja kopče na vrat aneurizme kojom se ona …

Endovascular treatment with platinum coils is safe and effective in preventing rebleeding of
intracranial aneurysms. Unfortunately, endovascular treatment has been associated with …

In 1995, with ultimate confidence and supreme naiveté, I proposed that additives appended
to platinum microcoils, might enhance the formation of a more stable histologic result, and …
