Coil migration poses a significant intraprocedural risk during coil embolization in interventional neuroradiology procedures. In this technical video we describe the technique of removal of errand coils using the low profile Tigertriever-13 device.1 Traditional methods of errant coil retrieval rely on the use of stent retrievers;2 however, these devices are usually too large to fit through smaller inner diameter 0.

Purpose: The purpose is to determine the effect of ultrasound-guided punctures on femoral access site complications (ASC), and to identify other potential predictors of ASC.
Although rare, cerebral arterial fenestration may present challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Here we present a case of a supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) fenestration adjacent to an ICA aneurysm, successfully treated with balloon-assisted coil embolization. A female in her 50's presented with an acute subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured left ICA-ophthalmic artery (OA) aneurysm.

Understanding complex venous reflux and drainage routes is crucial for treatment planning. Here, we present a case of a cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula with cortical venous reflux via two separate terminations of the telencephalic veins caused by an aplastic basal vein of Rosenthal.
