Abstract:Purpose:
A novel bioactive coil material, which is composed of a bare platinum core coated with an ultrathin layer of 50/50 acidified PGLA was developed for the purpose of accelerating thrombus organization in the treated aneurysms. Experimental aneurysms were with the coils with novel bioactive coating and histologic analysis was performed. The results were compared with the histologic findings observed in the aneurysms treated with a currently available polymeric coil (Matrix II) and bare platinu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
