  • Title: Ascent™: a novel balloon microcatheter device used as the primary coiling microcatheter of a basilar tip aneurysm.
    Author: Kirmani JF, Paolucci U.
    Journal: J Neuroimaging; 2012 Apr; 22(2):191-3. PubMed ID: 21707825.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial aneurysms undergoing balloon-assisted endovascular repair are particularly challenging given the concurrent use of one or more catheters in addition to the primary coiling microcatheter. Here, we describe a previously unreported novel device where a balloon catheter was used as the primary coiling microcatheter, thereby eliminated the need for additional catheters.
