<p>This invention is a surgical device and a method of using it. It is a combination in which at least one vasoocclusive device, such as a coil, is placed directly on a core wire. The vasoocclusive coil (or coils) may be press-fit onto the core wire but are slidably removable using a pusher on the proximal end of the core wire. The core wire may also function as a guidewire by inclusion of a radiopaque, shapeable tip. This assembly may be used without an infusion or micro-catheter in the cerebral vasculature, although a guiding catheter is often used to direct the assembly to the region of the neck after introduction from an external access point. <IMAGE></p> |
