ABSTRACT

Transcatheter coil embolization is used primarily to treat arterial hemorrhages, tumors, aneurysms, and vascular malformations. However, conventional microcatheter systems cannot always be employed in difficult cases. In this technical note, we describe how small-diameter primary coils and microcatheter tips that are thinner than normal can be used to increase the safety and reliability of coil embolization.
