How does an endovascular coiling treatment help to remove an aneurysm?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thrombosis: Endovascular coiling of aneurysms leads to thrombosis around the coils, closing off part or all of the aneurysm sac. The first methods were over 200 years ago, and involved using cotton. Endovascular coiling allows treatment of aneurysms in otherwise hard to reach areas.

Coiling: Cooling of an aneurysm involves placing platinum coils into the aneurysm to occupy the space of the aneurysm. If done properly it cures the aneurysm and prevents a rupture
