Embolization of experimentally created aneurysms with a laser-activated detachable coil device

Our experimental study in dogs suggests that laser-activated detachable coil devices show promise in the embolization of carotid aneurysms, allowing the interventionalist greater control than possible with nonretractable coil systems and permitting detachment of the coil from the wire in seconds.
