APPARATUS FOR EMBOLIC TREATMENT USING HIGH FREQUENCY INDUCTION HEATING

摘要

An apparatus for embolic treatment comprises a high frequency power source (12), and at least one induction coil (13) connected to the high frequency power source (12) and positioned around the vicinity of diseased vasculature of the body of a patient for generating an eddy current in the metallic coil (3) which is inserted into the vascular malformation (6) of the diseased vasculature. The eddy current in the metallic coil generates heat which coagulates and contracts the vascular malformation.
