• Ion implantation and protein coating of detachable coils for endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms: concepts and preliminary results in swine models.

  Murayama Y, Viñuela F, Suzuki Y, Do HM, Massoud TF, Guglielmi G, Ji C, Iwaki M, Kusakabe M, Kamio M, Abe T. Neurosurgery. 1997; 40 (6): 1233-43; discussion 1243-4

  Complete anatomic obliteration remains difficult to achieve with endovascular treatment of wide-necked aneurysms using Guglielmi detachable platinum coils (GDCs). Ion implantation is a physicochemical surface modification process resulting from the impingement of a high-energy ion beam. Ion implantation and protein coating were used to alter the surface properties (thrombogenicity, endothelial cellular migration, and adhesion) of GDCs. These modified coils were compared with standard GDCs in the treatment of experimental swine aneurysms.
