Abstract | Marathon is rarely used in coil embolization for an aneurysm; particularly, there have been no reports about distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms. We have reported a case of successful use of Marathon in coil embolization in case of a distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. The patient was an 83-year-old woman. She had undergone coil embolization for an unruptured distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm, which was discovered by chance. Our initial approach involved the use of a combination of Traxcess and Excelsior SL-10, but the use of SL-10 could not follow Traxcess because the right anterior cerebral artery from the right internal carotid artery had a sharp bifurcation. However, by switching to a combination of TENROU and Marathon, we could access the aneurysm. We thereby decided to continue the use of Marathon in order to complete the coil embolization. In coil embolization for an aneurysm, Marathon was found to be useful, depending on the location of the aneurysm and access route. |
