Summary
New retrievable microbaskets offer effective neck protection during GDC procedures, improving safety by minimizing impact on parent artery flow compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Neuroradiology
- Medical Device Engineering
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- GDC ( Guglielmi Detachable Coil ) placement requires neck protection to prevent migration.
- Existing methods like non-detachable balloons and microcatheters have limitations regarding parent artery flow and protective efficacy.
- Non-detachable balloons risk parent artery flow, while microcatheters offer poor protection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a novel retrievable microbasket for aneurysm neck protection.
- To assess the protective effect and deliverability of the microbasket system.
- To compare the microbasket's performance against existing neck protection techniques.
Main Methods:
- Development of a retrievable microbasket system.
- Delivery and retrieval through standard 18 microcatheters.
- Evaluation of protective effect in an aneurysm model.
Main Results:
- The retrievable microbasket demonstrated good protective effect in an aneurysm model.
- The device is deliverable and retrievable through standard 18 catheters.
- Offers a potentially safer alternative with less impact on parent artery flow.
Conclusions:
- Retrievable microbaskets represent a promising advancement in aneurysm neck protection.
- This technique offers effective protection with reduced risk to parent artery hemodynamics.
- Further clinical evaluation is warranted to confirm safety and efficacy.

01:20Personal Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:
01:22PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...
01:25Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

01:10PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.
01:23Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
