Remodeling Technique for Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms Had a Higher Rate of Adequate Postoperative Occlusion than Did Conventional Coil Embolization with Comparable Safety

Abstract

In our large series of patients treated for ruptured aneurysms, the remodeling technique-despite being performed in aneurysms with unfavorable characteristics-was as safe as conventional coil embolization and more efficacious in terms of the rate of adequate postoperative occlusion. These results indicate that the remodeling technique can be routinely used in the treatment of ruptured aneurysms.
