[New microcoil with coaxial administration set for superselective vascular embolization]. 1983

G Nöldge

Diminution of the "mini"-coil (G-A-W-coil) to a "micro"-coil makes more selective coil embolization possible in vessels down to 1.0 mm. in diameter. Application can be done by the 3.3-F-catheter for superselective embolization of a coaxial application set, consisting of a 7.6-F- and a 3.3-F-catheter. The very thin guide-wire 0.6 mm. in diameter serves as pusher as in other application sets too. In animal experiments 10 superselective embolizations are performed in the vascular system of the superior mesenteric artery in the small infestine of the dog. Vessel occlusion takes place in the same time as in the use of the "mini"- and the standard coil. No complications as coil dislocation or vessel perforation can be reported in the use of the "micro"-coil.

D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D004621 Embolization, Therapeutic A method of hemostasis utilizing various agents such as Gelfoam, silastic, metal, glass, or plastic pellets, autologous clot, fat, and muscle as emboli. It has been used in the treatment of spinal cord and INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS, renal arteriovenous fistulas, gastrointestinal bleeding, epistaxis, hypersplenism, certain highly vascular tumors, traumatic rupture of blood vessels, and control of operative hemorrhage.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
