Abstract

To compare angiographic and pathologic effects (ie, occlusion, recanalization) after embolization with Hydrogel-coated coils (HydroCoils) and fibered coils in the renal and internal iliac arteries after 7 days and 1 and 4 months in an animal model. Twelve sheep had 1 internal iliac and 1 renal artery randomly embolized with HydroCoils or fibered coils. Renal and internal iliac arteries were embolized with detachable 0.018-inch coils and pushable 0.035-inch coils, respectively. All animals had control angiography performed at 7 days, and 1 and 4 months to assess recanalization before euthanasia. Recanalization and inflammation were evaluated via pathologic examination. At 1 month, 100% of arteries embolized with HydroCoils were occluded vs 50% of those embolized with fibered coils (P = .004). At 4 months, 80% of arteries embolized with HydroCoils were occluded vs 25% of those embolized with fibered coils (P = .01). Surface of vessel occlusion was significantly greater for iliac arteries (96.7% ± 8.9) than for renal arteries (94.2% ± 5.3; P = .0076). Surface of occlusion of the renal arteries (92.2% ± 5.1) was lower for fibered coils than for HydroCoils (96.8% ± 4.7; P = .0287). Surface percentage of thrombus was significantly lo...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
