Balloon-assisted coil embolization for large-necked renal artery aneurysms

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2000 May-Jun;23(3):228-30. doi: 10.1007/s002700010049.

Abstract

An aneurysm of the right renal artery was discovered in a patient suffering from cerebral arterial angiodysplasia and arterial hypertension. The aneurysm was large necked, which made selective endovascular treatment very difficult. To perform the embolization of the aneurysm, a balloon remodelling technique was used. This prevented migration of coils within the arterial lumen.
