Coil embolization is a minimally invasive procedure to treat an aneurysm by filling it with material that closes off the sac and reduces the risk of bleeding. It is performed from "within" the artery (endovascular) through a steerable catheter inserted into the blood stream at the groin and guided to the brain.
What are embolization coils made of?
The coils are made of soft platinum metal, and are shaped like a spring. These coils are very small and thin, ranging in size from about twice the width of a human hair to less than one hair's width. Healthcare providers also use coiling to treat a condition called arteriovenous malformation, or AVM.
Can embolization coils move?
The current coils are very advance. However, since the availability of first generation of coils they are agents of choice for embolization. When used by a trained specialist it will never ever migrate from the place it was desired.
