What is Brain Aneurysm Coiling? | New Jersey Brain and Spine

Brain aneurysm coiling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing small metallic coils into the aneurysm to prevent blood flow. A small plastic tube (catheter) is placed into an artery of the leg and advanced under x-ray guidance into the artery that supplies blood to the aneurysm. A smaller tube called a microcatheter is then advanced under x-ray guidance into the aneurysm. Special metallic platinum coils are carefully advanced into the aneurysm until it is completely filled. The coils within the aneurysm cause blood to stop flowing within the aneurysm. This prevents leakage of blood and supports permanent healing of the aneurysm. In some circumstances, the anatomy of the aneurysm is such that coils cannot be seated securely without blocking the blood flow of the parent artery. In these circumstances, specially designed metallic stents or a balloon are placed across the orifice (neck) of the aneurysm to aid in coil placement.
