Retrieval of Migrated Coils From Distal Cerebral Vasculature Using Stent Retriever: A Case Series
The incidence of coil dislocation during an endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysm is low but it can lead to serious thrombo-embolic complications. Therefore, coil displacement/migration often requires either retrieval or fixation of the errant coil with a stent. There are no standard re...

Zusammenfassung: | The incidence of coil dislocation during an endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysm is low but it can lead to serious thrombo-embolic complications. Therefore, coil displacement/migration often requires either retrieval or fixation of the errant coil with a stent. There are no standard recommended methods of coil retrieval. We present a series of three cases in which off-label application of a stent retriever allowed successful retrieval of herniated coils. |
