Clinical evaluation of the endovascular embolization with guglielmi detachable coils for the treatment of cerebral aneurysm

Objective To report experience of the endovascular embolization with guglielmi detachable coils (GDC) in 6 patients with cerebral aneurysm.Methods Cerebral aneurysm were confirmed in 6 patients by CT,MR and DSA..Among them.4 located in posterior communicating artery, one in anterior communicating artery,and one in C 2 segment.The diameter of aneurysm body was measured in from 5 mm to 20 mm.It was embolized with GDC,and the qualification of coils were selected according to the size,form and rate of body/neck to make the aneurysm embolize densely.Results All patients were successfully embolized.The technique success rate was 100% .The filling degree was above 95% .The clinical situation took a turn for the better apparently and no complications occured.Conclusions Endovascular embolization with GDC for the treatment of cerebral aneurysm is a safe,effective and micro- traumatic means.
