[Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with mechanical detachable spiral-neurological].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with mechanical detachable spiral-neurological (MDS-N).


METHODS
Thirty-six patients with intracranial aneurysms were treated with MDS-N by Seldinger's approaches through femoral artery puncture. A catheter was sent into the aneurysm with proper-size MDS-N system and a spiral was pushed into the aneurysmal lumen.


RESULTS
The aneurysms were completely occluded in 32 cases while partial occlusion was obtained in 4 patients. The parent arteries remained unobstructed. Follow-up of 3 - 6 months showed that all patients recovered well. No death or permanent serious complication occurred.


CONCLUSIONS
Simple, safe, and low-cost, treatment of intracranial aneurysm with MDS-N is effective and suitable for use in larger hospital.
