J H Anderson, and S Wallace, and C Gianturco, and L P Gerson

Small stainless steel coils have been developed for transcatheter vascular occlusion procedures. The coils can be passed through a 5-French polyethylene catheter, extending the clinical applications of coil occlusion procedures for small and/or tortuous vessels. Two cases describing the use of these coils are reported.
