Abstract

An unusual case of unintentional release of an embolization coil into the proximal internal carotid artery is reported. The coil migrated and lodged distally in the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery during initial removal attempts using a regular nitinol loop snare. The coil was retrieved with the Amplatz Nitinol Microsnare system.

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.
