Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the deliverability, positioning, stability, and effectiveness of aneurysm occlusion and the incidence of parent-artery thrombosis of two different types of platinum coils, using a canine carotid aneurysm model. METHODS: 29 experimental canine carotid aneurysms (19 lateral, 6 bifurcation, and 4 terminal) were constructed and treated with complex-shaped fibered platinum coils and simple curved nonfibered platinum Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). RESULTS: Fibered complex coils were stable, producing 38% complete aneurysm occlusion and 61% average reduction in aneurysm lumen size but resulting in 19% parent artery occlusions. GDC coils were stable, producing 31% complete aneurysm occlusion and 95% average reduction in aneurysm lumen size with no parent-artery occlusions. CONCLUSIONS: GDC coils produced an average reduction in aneurysm lumen size of 95% without any associated parent-artery occlusions. There were no delayed migrations of GDC coils. The ability to remove, reposition, and detach a coil was the most significant feature of the GDC coil.
