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

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

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 …

Background: Some degree of recanalization is reported in up to one-third of intracranial
aneurysms treated with endovascular coiling. A technical development potentially effective …

Background Despite the increasing use of stent-assisted coiling (SAC), data on its long-term
clinical and angiographic results are limited. Objective The objective of this article is to …

Endovascular coil embolisation continues to evolve and remains a valid modality in
managing ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Technological advances in coil …

There has been an exponential growth in the endovascular treatment of intracranial
aneurysms over the past three decades and it is now the primary mode of treatment in the …

Background Coated coils for endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysm were developed
to reduce recurrence and retreatment rates, and have been in clinical use for 8–9 years …
