Abstract

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are commonly encountered lesions that can be treated both transvenously, transarterially or using a combined approach. Transvenous coil embolization of DAVF is a recognized treatment option but can be challenging. In this context this article presents clinical experience using the Kaneka ED10 ExtraSoft coils in combination with the Marathon microcatheter to treat high grade DAVF. The physical properties of these coils and the microcatheter were also determined. All patients with high grade DAVF treated with the Marathon and the Kaneka ED COIL ∞10 ExtraSoft coils were retrospectively identified. The clinical presentation, location, grade of the lesion, clinical and radiological follow-up data were recorded. Bench side studies were performed to determine the physical properties of the Marathon catheter in comparison to the SL10 and Headway Duo as well the maximum width of the Kaneka pusher wire in comparison to Hypersoft, Target and Axium Prime coils. A total of 8 patients with 9 DAVF with 3 Cognard 3 and 6 Cognard 4 lesions were identified. All the DAVF's were occluded either at the end of the procedure or on follow-up imaging. On bench side tests the Marathon microcatheter had the most flexib...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.
