Platinum microcoils delivered via the Tracker-18 microcatheter offer a safe and effective embolotherapy solution when standard methods fail. This technique achieved high technical and clinical success rates in peripheral superselective embolization.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Standard angiographic catheters are often limited in achieving peripheral superselective catheterization.
  • Difficulties in accessing small peripheral vessels can hinder effective embolotherapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of embolotherapy using platinum microcoils delivered via the Tracker-18 microcatheter.
  • To assess the utility of this technique in cases where standard embolization methods are not feasible.

Main Methods:

  • Embolotherapy was performed in 16 patients using platinum microcoils and the Tracker-18 microcatheter.
  • The microcatheter was advanced distally into small peripheral vessels for precise microcoil delivery.
  • Vascular occlusion was achieved using microcoils with attached fiber strands.

Main Results:

  • The Tracker-18 microcatheter enabled distal access into small peripheral vessels.
  • Vascular occlusion was achieved rapidly in all patients within minutes.
  • Technical success was 100%, with clinical success in 15 of 16 patients (94%).
  • No complications were reported during the procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Embolization with platinum microcoils via the Tracker-18 microcatheter is a valuable alternative when standard embolization techniques are not possible.
  • This method provides high technical and clinical success rates for peripheral superselective embolization.
  • The procedure is safe and well-tolerated, with no observed complications.
