An experimental study was undertaken to explore the possibility of treating this subset of aneurysms with thermal coagulation. Endovascular endosaccular thermal coagulation of experimental aneurysms was successfully performed using a radiofrequency electrical current applied to a novel device, the double-helix GDC. Theoretically this technique could be utilized in selected patients to occlude large and giant intracranial aneurysms.
