| Research Abstract |
Aneurysmal embolization are clinically adapted as a useful alternative of the direct surgery. However, an incomplete occlusion in wide-necked, large aneurysms, remains to be unsolved.
We produced the coating of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and fibroblast growth factor-basic (bFGF) on Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs), and check the development of coated coils on endotherialization across the orifice.
A total of 18 aneurysms were experimentally made in the common cartoid arteries of swine using microsurgical technique. Embolization was done on these aneurysms using standard GDCs and coated GDCs with HAp (GDC-HAp) and with bFGF (GDC-HAp-bFGF). The animals were then killed 14 days after embolization. The development of tissue scarring and coverage the aneurysm's orifice were evaluated macroscopically. No significant difference of volume ratio of the coils exited in each groups. Macroscopically, covering ratio of fibrous membrane at the neck of aneurysms were 88.3% in a group with GDC-HAp-bFGF, while it were 26.7% in a group with standard GDC and it was 41.7% in a group with GDC-HAp.
These results indicated that coating by hydroxyapatite and bFGF might facilitate a wound healing in an experimental aneurysm model.
