title: The feasibility of three-dimensional guglielmi detachable coil for embolisation of wide neck cerebral aneurysms.
abstract: The three-dimensional Guglielmi detachable coil is a modification of the conventional Guglielmi coil. It has a unique complex structure, with alternating small and large loops at 90 degrees angle to each other during deployment. The enhanced coil complexity optimizes coil purchase on the aneurysm wall, promoting coil stability within the aneurysm sac. It may be the solution of the single catheter technique in the embolisation of wide neck aneurysms.We report our early experience in the embolisation of wide neck aneurysms using these complex coils.
