title: Use of three-dimensional Guglielmi detachable coils in the treatment of wide-necked cerebral aneurysms.
abstract: A three-dimensional Guglielmi detachable coil (3D-GDC) has been developed that is designed specifically to bridge the neck of an aneurysm with coil loops, thereby facilitating retention of additional coils placed within the aneurysm. Nine wide-necked cerebral aneurysms were successfully embolized using the 3D-GDC, provided that the dome-to-neck ratio was 1.5 or greater.
