Neurosurgical clipping and endovascular coiling are methods used to treat patients who have ruptured intracranial aneurysms; however, the safety and efficacy of these treatments relative to one ...

Haemorrhagic brain stroke is a major cause of long-term disability and even death. The life-threatening medical condition leads to irreversible damage to the brain cells. However, with the emergence ...

Patients who require rescue treatment after receiving endovascular coiling for cerebral aneurysms face higher morbidity and mortality if given thrombolytic agents rather than glycoprotein IIb/IIIa ...

A recent paper published in The Lancet has compared neurosurgical clipping with endovascular coiling in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Of the two treatments, endovascular coiling was ...

This study showed that coiling is associated with less harm than clipping in terms of disability measured by mRS and GOS, neurological and cardiac complications, but all of the studies included were ...

Endovascular coiling to treat ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms offers high long-term occlusion rates in elderly patients, according to a meta-analysis published in the July 2013 issue of ...

Detachable endovascular coils may provide an alternative approach to sealing residual leaks after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), a small feasibility study suggests. LAA coiling completely ...

A brain aneurysm coil fills the aneurysm with platinum coils to help form a blood clot, sealing it off and lowering the risk of rupture. Brain aneurysms are weak spots in blood vessel walls that can ...

CINCINNATI—A very low risk of complication is associated with a routine test that determines whether a brain aneurysm treated with endovascular coiling has started to recur, a study led by the ...

Results of a landmark international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide compelling evidence for the use of a platinum coil transported through blood vessels--rather than conventional ...

Anything more aggressive than leaving a tiny unruptured intracranial aneurysm alone may be detrimental to the patient's health, researchers suggested. How an aneurysm measuring 3 mm or smaller is ...
