Applications and Roles of Coil Embolization and/or Clipping in the Treatment of Cerebral Aneurysm.
We retrospectively analysed to demonstrate the selection of the treatment modality and its efficacy in our department. Subjects of the present study comprised patients in whom coil embolization was abandoned due to such reasons as broad neck, whom coil embolization was performed for residual aneurysm following incomplete clipping or recurrent cerebral aneurysm, whom coil embolization was performed after coil compaction, whom coil embolization and clipping were performed for the treatment of multiple cerebral aneurysms. In the treatment of cerebral aneurysm, selecting proper techniques by considering the characteristics of clipping and coil embolization is desirable. In other words, strategizing therapy by taking advantages of the merits of clipping and coil embolization is important.
