Intra-aneurysmal embolization of cellulose porous beads to regenerate vessel wall: an experimental study

Although the treatment of intracranial cerebral aneurysms with detachable coils is now widely accepted, the problem of coil compaction and recanalization remains unsolved. If the vessel wall can be regenerated at the neck orifice of an aneurysm, thereby reducing the blood flow into the aneurysm, the recurrence rate of the aneurysm would decrease. Accordingly, we aimed to insert cellulose porous beads (CPBs) into rat models of external carotid...
