[Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with mechanical detachable spiral-neurological].

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with mechanical detachable spiral-neurological (MDS-N).

METHODS

Thirty-six patients with intracranial aneurysms were treated with MDS-N by Seldinger's approaches through femoral artery puncture. A catheter was sent into the aneurysm with proper-size MDS-N system and a spiral was pushed into the aneurysmal lumen.

RESULTS

The aneurysms were completely occluded in 32 cases while partial occlusion was obtained in 4 patients. The parent arteries remained unobstructed. Follow-up of 3 - 6 months showed that all patients recovered well. No death or permanent serious complication occurred.

CONCLUSION

Simple, safe, and low-cost, treatment of intracranial aneurysm with MDS-N is effective and suitable for use in larger hospital.
