Extra Info
The main advantage of coils is the ability for precise and quick placement, without distal embolization. The primary disadvantage is sacrifice of distal access: once a vessel is coiled, it cannot be re-accessed for retreatment.
When using coils for embolization of a specific lesion, the general technique is to first coil distal to the lesion, then proximal to it. This prevents recurrent bleeding from retrograde collaterals.
