DYNAMIC MANDREL FOR INDUCING STRESS INTO AN EMBOLIC COIL
20250009360 · 2025-01-09 ·

Disclosed are example embodiments of an endovascular coil having a twisted figure 8 shape. The endovascular coil includes: a first loop; a second loop; and an inflection region where a portion of the first loop transitions into a portion of the second loop. The second loop is rotated about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first loop to create the twisted figure 8 shape. The twist adds more randomness and variability to the filling behavior of the endovascular coil. The added randomness and variability enables the twisted figure 8 coil to better fill the void of irregular-shaped aneurysms than other conventional embolic coils.
