Use of Target Tetra with an understanding of its novel structure
The TTDC coils cluster at the tip of the microcatheter. Thus, effective embolization can be achieved by filling from the deeper available space. Based on the behavioral characteristics of TTDCs, it is not only beneficial as a finishing coil but also plays a role in filling. We believe that TTDCs may be a useful option for embolizing small aneurysms, including ruptured ones that were previously challenging to treat, and cases in which microcatheter stability are compromised.
