Device performance evaluated: extensive in vitro testing of the CascadeT...
The CascadeTM Non-Occlusive Remodeling Net (Perflow Medical, Israel) is an innovative fully retrievable neck-bridging temporary support device designed for use during coil embolisation of intracranial aneurysms which allows for flow within the parent vessel while providing coverage at the neck during coiling of the aneurysm. In this article, the Cascade device was tested in vitro within a variety of aneurysm types and – after 480 attempted coilings – no evidence of coil protrusion either through the mesh wall of the device itself or any coil protrusion into the parent vessel was observed,underlining device viability and effectiveness.
