title: The safety and efficacy of coiling multiple aneurysms in the same session.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Multiple intracranial aneurysms are common. While sequential clipping of multiple aneurysms during a single open surgical procedure has been reported, the same is not true for endovascular coiling. We present our experience describing the safe coiling of multiple aneurysms in the same setting.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective review of our coiling log between 2006 and 2009 showed six cases in which multiple aneurysms were coiled in the same session.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All patients were coiled using the same microcatheter. Distal aneurysms were coiled first. Good occlusion rates were achieved in all cases. There were no thromboembolic events or procedure-related rupture or mortality.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In addition to safety and efficacy, cost savings are expected when coiling multiple aneurysms in the same procedure.
