A technique of GDC embolization for deeply bilobulated aneurysms

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2002 Apr;23(4):693-6.

Abstract

The endovascular occlusion of deeply bilobulated aneurysms is a technical challenge. Recently, we successfully treated three patients with deeply bilobulated aneurysms by using Guglielmi detachable coils. The embolization technique was conventional, but it required several special technical considerations. In this report, we describe the technique of coil embolization of deeply bilobulated aneurysms.
