Hydrocoil for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

In the recent few years,apart from the development of interventional technology,the development of new kinds material for packing intracranial aneurysms has hastened the promotion of endovascular interventional treatment greatly. Microvention company introduces lately Hydrocoil,a kind of hydro-agglutinated microspring coil which adopts a special hydrolink detachment technology,enriching the methods of endovascular treatment for cerebral aneurysms. Hydrocoil is a traditional platinum coil coated with expandable,unabsorble hydrogel material,which can improve the filling volume proportion of the aneurysm. At present it has been initially applied in clinic. This article summarizes the characteristics,the preclinical study,and the clinical application of Hydrocoil.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16: 710-713)
