  • Title: Transcatheter coil embolization of abnormal vascular connections using a new type of delivery catheter for enhanced control.
    Author: Prieto LR, Latson LA, Dalvi B, Arbetman MM, Ebeid MR, Lamorgese TT.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1999 Mar 15; 83(6):981-3, A10. PubMed ID: 10190426.
    Abstract:
    A new type of delivery catheter, designed with a 0.033-inch distal tip that grips a 0.038-inch Gianturco coil, was used to occlude 61 abnormal vascular connections in 44 patients with a complete closure rate of 87%. Withdrawal (n = 6) or repositioning (n = 2) of an inappropriately positioned coil was necessary in 8 of 44 patients, and was successfully achieved in all by the delivery catheter without need for additional equipment.
