2. Endovascular coiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_coiling

   Endovascular coiling is an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms and bleeding throughout the body. The procedure reduces blood circulation to an aneurysm or blood vessel through the implantation of detachable platinum wires, with the clinician inserting one or more into the blood vessel or aneurysm until it is determined that blood flow is no longer occurring within the space.

3. Intracranial aneurysm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_aneurysm

   Endovascular coiling refers to the insertion of platinum coils into the aneurysm. A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, typically the femoral artery, and passed through blood vessels into the cerebral circulation and the aneurysm. Coils are pushed into the aneurysm, or released into the blood stream ahead of the aneurysm.

4. Flow diverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_diverter

   Flow diverters are treatment for intracranial aneurysms alternative to endosaccular coil embolization, although the techniques can be combined, especially in large/giant aneurysms. It is mainly effective in wide neck unerupted saccular aneurysms , that are difficult to coil because of the tendency of the coils to fill the parent artery ...

5. Cerebral angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_angiography

   [3] [4] Another type of treatment possible by angiography (if the images reveal an aneurysm) is the introduction of metal coils through the catheter already in place and maneuvered to the site of aneurysm; over time these coils encourage formation of connective tissue at the site, strengthening the vessel walls. [5] [6]

6. Interventional neuroradiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_neuroradiology

   Interventional neuroradiology (INR) also known as neurointerventional surgery (NIS), endovascular therapy (EVT), endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neurology is a medical subspecialty of neurosurgery, neuroradiology, intervention radiology and neurology specializing in minimally invasive image-based technologies and procedures used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the head ...

7. Interventional radiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_radiology

   The coil induces clotting within the aneurysm, which reduces the risk of rupture. Multiple coils may be used depending on the size. [ 33 ] Imaging studies ( DSA , CTA , or MRA ) help characterize the aneurysm to decide the best course of treatment, whether endovascular coiling or surgical clipping.

9. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_aneurysm_repair

   Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a type of minimally-invasive endovascular surgery used to treat pathology of the aorta, most commonly an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). When used to treat thoracic aortic disease, the procedure is then specifically termed TEVAR for "thoracic endovascular aortic/aneurysm repair."
