Summary
A novel technique using a microsnare and microwire successfully retrieved a migrated coil during endovascular embolization. This approach offers a solution for challenging cases where standard methods fail, preventing potential infarcts.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Radiology
- Vascular Surgery
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Coil migration is a complication of endovascular embolization, potentially causing thromboembolic events and infarcts.
- Standard microsnare techniques may fail to retrieve migrated coils, particularly in challenging anatomical locations or with specific coil configurations.
