Endovascular Coiling
Endovascular coiling is a procedure performed to block blood flow into an aneurysm (a weakened area in the wall of an artery).
Endovascular coiling is a more recent treatment for brain aneurysms; it has been used in patients since 1991.
Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive technique, which means an incision in the skull is not required to treat the brain aneurysm. Rather, a catheter is used to reach the aneurysm in the brain.
During endovascular coiling, a catheter is passed through the groin up into the artery containing the aneurysm. Platinum coils are then released.
The coils induce clotting (embolization) of the #aneurysm and, in this way, prevent blood from getting into it.
