Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Microcatheter and microcoil compatibility is often unclear due to diverse manufacturers.
  • Ensuring device compatibility is crucial for successful endovascular procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally evaluate the compatibility of various microcoils with major microcatheters.
  • To provide data for improving device selection in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • An in vitro vascular model was used to test 8 microcoil types with 16 microcatheter types.
  • Compatibility was assessed under fluoroscopy by two blinded radiologists using a 1-5 scoring system.
  • Microcatheters were flushed with saline, and the vascular model with saline and lubricant.

Main Results:

  • A total of 512 combinations were evaluated.
  • The vast majority (465/512) of combinations passed without resistance (score 5).
  • Only 15 combinations were rated as not passable (score 1), and 16 were non-applicable.

Conclusions:

  • Most microcoil and microcatheter combinations demonstrate compatibility.
  • Compatibility is generally assured when the microcoil's primary diameter is less than the microcatheter's inner diameter.
  • Some exceptions exist, highlighting the need for careful device selection.
