RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Endovascular coils: properties, technical complications and salvage techniques JF Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery JO J NeuroIntervent Surg FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. SP 104 OP 109 DO 10.1136/neurintsurg-2012-010263 VO 5 IS 2 A1 Eddleman, Christopher Sean A1 Welch, Babu G A1 Vance, Awais Z A1 Rickert, Kim L A1 White, Jonathan A A1 Pride, G Lee A1 Purdy, Phillip D YR 2013 UL http://jnis.bmj.com/content/5/2/104.abstract AB Endovascular coil embolization has become an accepted and often first-line treatment for ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. While the complications of endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms have been well vetted in the literature, there are few reports solely concerning the complications and salvage techniques related to either the technical aspects of coil deployment or to the devices themselves. In this review the structural details of commonly used endovascular coils, technical complications related to coiling and salvage techniques used when these complications occur are discussed.
