Aneurysms remodelling technique

Stent-assisted and balloon-assisted coil remodeling technique (in wide neck aneurysms) [126-129]... 

Various nondetachable balloons are available for temporary vessel occlusion, angioplasty for vasospasm therapy or remodelling techniques for broad based aneurysms. Larger vessels like the carotid or vertebral artery can be occluded with a double lumen balloon catheter, i.e. Meditech (Cook). For intracranial angioplasty and remodeling smaller, more flexible balloons, like the Hyperglide (MTI), Eclipse (Balt), or the Copernic (Balt) are required. Additionally to these balloons tbe Hyperform microballoon (MTI) can be used for remodelling technique.
