Abstract

The authors evaluate the feasibility to accelerate occlusion of high-velocity flow vessels by a combination of transcutaneous coil placement and application of radiofrequency current. Piglets (n = 8) were anesthetized and acutely instrumented via cutdowns in both carotid and one brachial arteries. Two identical cylindrically shaped coils (length, 3 mm; outer diameter, 2.4 mm; inner diameter, 1.4 mm) were mounted on titanium-nickel core wire and placed via 3-French Nylon catheters in both iliac arteries. The coils were kept connected to the delivery wire, which is isolated from the surrounding tissue by the catheter. The first-placed system served as control, the contralateral coil was connected to a radiofrequency generator closing electrical circuit via an external indifferent electrode. Angiograms via the brachial artery demonstrated the adequate placement of the coils and the status of the iliac arteries without and with current application. In 6 of the 8 cases, 25 watts of radiofrequency current were applied repeatedly over 10 seconds to the coil on one side at 4-minute intervals until occlusion was demonstrated. In 2 of 8 cases. 25 watts were applied continuously over 30 seconds. The coils were detached from the wire the c...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
