Particular management strategy for intraprocedural coil migration during endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm

Abstract

Migration of coils represents one of the most challenging complications of endovascular management of cerebral aneurysms with a potentially catastrophic result. In this article, we present the successful management of a coil migration during the endovascular occlusion of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm. A stent fixation technique was used with good vascular repermeabilisation. The reported frequency, risk factors and management strategies are also discussed.
