Guglielmi detachable coiling for intracranial aneurysms: the story so far Dovey Z; Misra M; Thornton J; Charbel FT; Debrun GM; Ausman JIArch Neurol 2001[Apr]; 58 (4): 559-64Spontaneous rupture of cerebral aneurysms typically results in subarachnoid hemorrhage. The primary goal of treatment of cerebral aneurysms is to prevent future rupture. Surgical clipping had been the mainstay of treatment of both ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms. In 1991, Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) embolization was introduced as an alternative method for treating selected patients with aneurysm. The goal of the treatment is prevent the flow of blood into the aneurysm sack by filling the aneurysm with coils and thrombus. Theoretically, there are several advantages of GDC over surgery. These procedures are performed under general anesthesia with the standard transfemoral approaches used in diagnostic angiography. Since its inception, GDC embolization has evolved as a result of both clinical experience and the introduction of technological improvements. We are now better at selecting aneurysms appropriate for coiling, which also have wide necks. Advances in GDC technology have also improved this method of treatment. Over the last several years, the number of coil sizes has been increased, multidimensional coils allowing safer initial coil placement have become available, and, more recently, softer coils have been introduced. Our current approach is to have both surgical and endovascular options for patients.|Cerebral Hemorrhage/etiology[MESH]|Embolization, Therapeutic/adverse effects/*instrumentation[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intracranial Aneurysm/*therapy[MESH]|Patient Selection[MESH]|Vasospasm, Intracranial/etiology[MESH] |
