title: [Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with mechanical detachable spiral-neurological].
abstract: 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.
