Treatment options for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms using a self-expandable hydrophilic coil and a self-expandable stent combination

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2005 May;26(5):1237-40.

Abstract

The endovascular treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms is evolving. We report our initial experience in treating seven wide-neck intracranial aneurysms by using a new self-expanding stent, the Neuroform, in combination with a new generation of coils that incorporate a self-expandable hydrophilic lining, the HydroCoil.
