The next generation HydroCoil: initial clinical experience with the HydroFill embolic coil

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Complete packing of intracranial aneurysms has demonstrated a significant decrease in aneurysm recurrence rates with increased volumetric filling. The HydroCoil Embolization System (HES) was developed to increase volumetric filling within the aneurysm sac to maintain long term occlusion. To further enhance ease of HES deployment, a new next generation embolic coil, the HydroFill coil, was developed. OBJECTIVE: To report the first …
