Endovascular Embolization of Intracranial Aneurysms Using Target Tetra Detachable Coils: Angiographic and Clinical Results from a Single Center

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Target tetra detachable coils (TTDCs) aid in achieving effective framing during the coil embolization of small intracranial aneurysms by maintaining a tetrahedral conformation within the aneurysm sac. We aimed to report the initial experience of patients treated for intracranial aneurysms using TTDCs, with a specific focus on efficacy and safety. <b>Methods</b>: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 41 patients who underwent the coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms sized ≤10 mm with TTDCs between April and May 2023. Post-procedural angiographic and clinical results were reviewed. <b>Results</b>: Of the 46 aneurysms (45 unruptured and 1 ruptured), 33 (71.7%) were treated with the stent-assisted technique and 13 (28.3%) using the simple coil embolization technique. Post-procedural angiography showed complete occlusion in 41 aneurysms (89.1%), neck remnants in 1 (2.2%), and residual aneurysms in 4 (8.7%). The mean packing density was 34.7% (19.3-46.8%), with TTDC coil length comprising a mean of 88.5% of the total coil length. No major device- or procedure-related complications were observed. During the follow-up, 40 aneurysms (93.0%) demonstrated complete occlusion, while neck remnants were observed in 1 (2.3%), and residual aneurysms in 2 (4.7%). No cases of recanalization were observed. <b>Conclusions</b>: The TTDC is a safe and effective device for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Follow-up studies are required to establish long-term results.
