Abstract

Coil displacement during endovascular embolization of an intracranial aneurysm can result in significant thromboembolic complications. To avoid this problem, microsnares and other techniques have been developed to retrieve a lost foreign body in the cerebral circulation. The Merci Retriever (Concentric Medical, Inc., Mountain View, CA) is an FDA-approved device for clot removal in the intracranial vessels. Modifications to its original design have enhanced this device not only for embolectomy but also for intravascular foreign body retrieval. To our review, we report the first use of an L5 Merci Retriever to evacuate a displaced detachable endovascular coil and intracranial stent during aneurysm treatment.

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.

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.
