Figure Lengend Snippet: Control angiography after embolization of the ileocolic artery with microcoils, showing outflow and inflow sealed and no leakage (black arrow).

Article Snippet: In the case described here, after angiography and selective catheterization of the ICA, the artery was embolized with microcoils to seal the aneurysm sac then Nester ® platinum embolization coils (Cook Medical Inc., Indiana, United States) were released and controlled-release dacron fibers were deployed into the area of contrast leakage.

Techniques: Control

Figure Lengend Snippet: X-ray images of vessels implanted with the three types of occlusion devices tested in this study. (A) Right renal artery implanted with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug for 30 days. (B) Left internal thoracic artery implanted with Nester Embolization Coils for 30 days. (C) Right renal artery implanted with IMPEDE Embolization Plug for 60 days. In the radiographs, red lines indicate the proximal, middle, and distal sections targeted for histological evaluation. Note: For Nester and IMPEDE devices, two middle regions (proximal-mid, distal-mid) were selected for histological evaluation. Corresponding histological cross sections are displayed in order from proximal (left) to distal (right). Middle cross sections were divided into outer (yellow asterisk), mid (green asterisk), and central (pink diamond) regions for additional inflammatory cell count analysis. The scale bar in each histology cross section is 0.4 mm; stain: Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E).

Article Snippet: Standard occlusion devices include fibered platinum coils such as Nester Embolization Coils (Cook Medical, Inc., Bloomington, IN) and the Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AVP) developed by AGA Medical, which consists of a single or multilayer nitinol mesh cage delivered via catheter that provides multiple occlusive planes along the length of the device.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fluoroscopic, radiographic, and histology views of vessels implanted with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug occlusion device at 30 days (A), IMPEDE Embolization Plug at 30 days (B) and 60 days (C), Nester Embolization Coils at 60 days (D), and IMPEDE Embolization Plug at 90 days (E). Red arrows indicate the direction of blood flow. Yellow asterisk indicates contrast downstream, indicative of recanalization. X-ray images are oriented with the proximal end (i.e., upstream) of the devices at the top of the image.
