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.
