Abstract

SUMMARY: Histologic findings after Guglielmi detachable coils endovascular embolisation have been studied in experimental aneurysms. Few reports describe histopathologic reactions to platinum coils in humans. In this report we describe gross, light microscopic pathology and scanning electron microscopy study of a ruptured basilar tip artery aneurysm in a patient who died 16 hours following coiling.
