Embolization of a thoracic aortic aneurysm; the straddling coil technique: technical note.
Occlusion of a patent postligated aortic aneurysm was performed percutaneously with modified use of giant steel coils in a 50-year-old man. Steel coils were placed across the short, narrowed segment of the aorta. Successful thrombosis of entire aortic aneurysm was accomplished. No complications occurred.
