Repair of intracranial vessel perforation with Onyx-18 using an exovascular retreating catheter technique

J Neurointerv Surg. 2012 Mar;4(2):121-4. doi: 10.1136/jnis.2011.004721. Epub 2011 Apr 22.

Abstract

Numerous techniques have been described to treat intracranial vessel perforation during endovascular interventions. We describe a novel application of Onyx-18 for the treatment of intracranial catheter perforations by sealing the vessel from the outside while retracting the catheter into the arterial lumen.
