Abstract
A three-dimensional Guglielmi detachable coil (3D-GDC) has been developed t hat is designed specifically to bridge the neck of an aneurysm with coil lo ops, thereby facilitating retention of additional coils placed within the a neurysm. Nine wide-necked cerebral aneurysms were successfully embolized us ing the 3D-GDC, provided that the dome-to-neck ratio was 1.5 or greater.
