  • Title: Detachable steel spring coils for vessel occlusion.
    Author: Lund G, Rysavy J, Kotula F, Castaneda-Zuniga WR, Amplatz K.
    Journal: Radiology; 1985 May; 155(2):530. PubMed ID: 3983407.
    Abstract:
    Spring coils for vessel occlusion were modified to include a screw-on attachment for delivery wire, which permitted safe and accurate placement of the coils. We successfully implanted coils in a dog and a lamb. They were easily retrieved from within the delivery catheters and the vessels, which is not possible with conventional coils. Coil design is described.
