Coil migration during cerebral aneurysm embolization is rare, but one of the most troublesome events. A 65-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for the treatment of a cerebral aneurysm. Angiography showed the aneurysm at the C3 portion of the right internal carotid artery. The neck of the aneurysm was wide. A detachable coil was placed into the aneurysm using the balloon neck plasty technique and was detached after confirmation of its stability. However, after detachment, the coil started to migrate. The balloon was inflated to prevent coil migration and another coil was inserted into the aneurysm to stabilize the migrated coil. Finally, the aneurysm was subtotally embolized with 9 coils. The postoperative course was uneventful. Coil migration may occur especially in a wide-neck aneurysm. Appropriate coil selection is important to prevent such migration. Subsequent coil insertion, retrieval of the migrated coil, and stent placement are the treatment options for coil migration.

Systemic-to-pulmonary collaterals (SPCs) are common in congenital heart disease (CHD). Particularly in single ventricle anatomy and Fontan circulation, SPC can both complicate the postoperative course and lead to clinical deterioration in the long term. The treatment of SPC is controversial.

The 1.7 kb DRAIC long noncoding RNA inhibits tumor growth, inhibits cancer cell invasion, migration, colony formation and interacts with IKK (IκB kinase) subunits, inhibiting the phosphorylation and degradation of the NF-κB inhibitor, IκB, to suppress the activation of NF-κB. Whether these activities are all linked is unclear.

Misshapen/NIKs-related kinase (MINK) 1 belongs to the mammalian germinal center kinase (GCK) family. It contains the N-terminal, conserved kinase domain, a coiled-coil region, a proline-rich region, and a GCK, C-terminal domain with the Citron-NIK-Homology (CNH) domain. The kinase is an essential component of cellular signaling pathways, which include Wnt signaling, JNK signaling, pathways engaging Ras proteins, the Hippo pathway, and STRIPAK complexes.

Article Synopsis
  • Pseudoaneurysms can occur after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries, and catheter interventions are typically the first step in treatment; however, complications from arterial embolization can arise.
  • A case study of a 43-year-old male revealed that a dislodged embolization coil caused bile duct stone formation, leading to recurrent cholangitis after previous treatment for a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm.
  • The case highlights the need for clinicians to monitor embolization coil positions in patients and consider coil migration as a potential cause when diagnosing bile duct stones, especially following hepatic artery embolization.

Purpose: Intraprocedural complications during intracranial embolisation include thromboembolic vessel occlusion, catheter tip detachment and coil migration. Stentrievers and aspiration catheters are valuable devices for the management of these complications. We present our experience with the use of these devices.
