Neurointerventionists Expand Research to Quality of Life in Aneurysm Patients Following Minimally Invasive Coiling Treatment
Coiled Patients Compare More Closely to Normal Population Than They Do to Patients Who Previously Underwent Traditional Clipping Surgery
Boca Raton, FL, July 27, 2009 — Since the groundbreaking 2002 ISAT International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) – which ultimately was halted due to overwhelming evidence that minimally invasive coiling (an endovascular therapy) was, on average, superior to traditional surgical clipping in the treatment of brain aneurysms – many studies have continued to prove the short- and long-term viability of this procedure. Further technical refinements for coiling are underway all over the world. More...

Early clinical results from the US and Argentina reveal that a new minimally invasive procedure successfully eliminates pain and disability caused by lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a condition that, in severe form, can cripple sufferers. Announced today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) Annual Meeting in Lake Tahoe, Calif., these early results hold great promise for the nearly 1.5 million patients who are newly diagnosed each year and the neurointerventional practitioners committed to innovating new treatment options as alternatives to traditional surgery.
