A simple but effective solution for proximal mark absence on some microcatheters in intracranial aneurysm embolization: Technical note.

There is scarce evidence supporting the use of microcatheters with no proximal radiopaque mark for coil embolization. This report attempts to disclose how an easy and simple technique can be used as a rescue method to solve the proximal radiopaque mark absence during endovascular coil release procedures. To the best of our knowledge, this technique has not been previously described; therefore, its use is not widespread among neurointerventionists.
