Point-by-point parent artery/sinus obliteration using detachable, pushable, 0.035-inch coils.

Background Parent artery occlusion for intractable aneurysms or sinus packing for dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) is sometimes difficult and requires many expensive coils to accomplish complete occlusion. To help solve these problems, we reviewed our experience using 0.035-inch coil (0.035 coil; Boston Scientific, San Leandro, CA, USA), which has been used in cardiovascular and abdominal lesions.
