Abstract

The balloon-assisted treatment (BAT) of aneurysms offers several theoretical and practical advantages over unassisted or stent-supported coil embolization. By introducing a number of coils during a single balloon inflation, the procedures may be completed more quickly with fewer balloon inflations. In addition, our clinical experience suggests that when a number of coils are placed during a single balloon inflation, they form a “conglomerate mass” which is more stable than any individually placed aneurysm coil. Using this “conglomerate mass” technique, we have (in some cases) been able to achieve a very dense packing of wide-necked and complex aneurysms without adjunctive stents.
