Initial Technical Experience with the SMART Coil for the Embolization of Intracranial Aneurysms

Our results demonstrate adequate device safety in a variety of both ruptured and unruptured aneurysm locations. This design enables progressive changes in softness along the length of an individual coil, which offers several potential advantages in the clinical use. This initial investigation of SMART Coil technology demonstrates safety and efficacy in the treatment of a wide range of aneurysm sizes, locations, and morphologies in both ruptured and unruptured settings.
