Dr. Daniel Cooke of University of California San Francisco (UCSF) recently used 2 Target Tetra® coils 3.5 mm x 6.0 cm and 2.0 mm x 2.5 cm to treat a ruptured 3.0 mm right posterior communicating artery (PCOM) aneurysm with a 7 mm pseudoaneurysmal halo and received an excellent post-operative result.
Target Tetra coils are used in this embolization case to build a stable frame for a small ruptured PCOM aneurysm amidst a worst-case mc kickback access scenario, wherein the coils showed an exceptional balance of smoothness, softness, and stability in deployment.
6-month follow-up images exhibit outstanding results.
