Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Released from a Platinum Coil with a Polyvinyl Alcohol Core Enhances Cellular Proliferation and Vascular Wall Thickness: An in Vitro and in Vivo Study

Abstract

We suggest that FGF-core coils may be effective in inducing fibrotic changes inside aneurysms. These coils may be used as an embolic material to cure cerebral aneurysms.
