We
offer the latest in endovascular coiling technologies, including
extensive use of remodeling techniques for wide neck aneurysms.
This includes stent and balloon assist. We are utilizing the
newest coated coils, as well as intracranial stents. PNC currently
has the highest percentage of patients in the Northwest treated
by endovascular techniques – more than 75% – not
requiring open surgery. We are also constantly re-evaluating
new technologies to further improve aneurysm treatment.
