Abstract

To angiographically compare the occlusive effects of hydrocoils and fibered coils in the renal and internal iliac arteries at 24 h and 7 days in the sheep model. To determine the occlusive mechanism by hydrocoils and fibered coils by pathological examination. Two types of peripheral hydrogel-coated and fibered coils similar in diameter and length were compared. The right and left renal arteries were embolized with 0.018-inch detachable hydrocoils or fibered coils in six sheep. Then, the right and left internal iliac arteries were embolized with 0.035-inch pushable hydrocoils or fibered coils. Arterial recanalization was evaluated at 24 h and at 7 days with angiography. At pathology, the surface percentage of thrombus and embolic material (platinum, Dacron fibers and hydrogel) and the presence of inflammation were assessed. No difference was found between the coils for recanalization at 24 h or 7 days. For hydrocoils, the surface of occlusion corresponded to thrombus for 42% and coil for 58% including 42% of platinum and 16% of hydrogel, respectively. For fibered coils, the surface of occlusion was composed of thrombus for 69% and of platinum and fibers for 31%. The surface percentage occupied by thrombus was significantly lower...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.

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.
