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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Aneurysm recanalization is an innate problem in
endovascular treatment of aneurysms with coils. A coated coil system, covered with a …

BACKGROUND: Matrix coils are based on Gugliemi detachable coils (GDC) but are covered
with polyglycolic/polylactic acid. We present our experience regarding the immediate …

Introduction The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term (≥ 12 months)
angiographic follow-up of aneurysms treated with polymer polyglycolic-lactic acid (PGLA) …

Background and Purpose—Recanalization of cerebral aneurysm is a limitation of bare
platinum coils (BPCs). In a swine aneurysm model, polyglycolide/polylactide (a polymer) …

Background and Purpose—Acceleration of intra-aneurysmal clot organization and fibrosis
may be a solution to preventing aneurysm recanalization after endovascular treatment. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to analyze the outcomes and
treatment-related complications of the polyglycolic/polylactic acid (PGLA)-coated Matrix …

There is no robust consensus on the efficacy of polyglycolic/polylactic acid (PGLA)-coated
coils used in the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms. We present a …

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms by
using detachable coils has become an accepted alternative to surgery. To reduce the rate of …
