Publication number: 20160278782Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of embolic coil delivery. In particular, the present disclosure provides a delivery system that allows an embolic coil, retained on a delivery tube outside of the microcatheter, to be positioned within a target occlusion area of a patient prior to being controllably deployed, or retracted into the microcatheter for repositioning. The delivery system is particularly useful for minimizing embolic coil kickback.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: Mary-Claire ANDERSON, Nicholas Lee Tassoni, Ajay Gupta
