ABOUT INTRASACCULAR EMBOLIZATION BRAIN ANEURYSM THERAPIES

Intrasaccular embolization refers to endovascular treatments of aneurysms within the aneurysm sac, generally with embolic coils, which is widely considered the “gold” standard for aneurysm treatment.1

THE PROCEDURE

Coil embolization, currently the most common endovascular aneurysm treatment, is the insertion of platinum coils into the sac of the aneurysm. The body responds by forming clots around the coil, limiting blood flow within the aneurysm and reducing the risk of rupture or re-rupture.

Aneurysm Coiling with Axium Prime Coils

In wide-necked aneurysms, balloons can be used during coiling to assist coil packing.2
