For neck protection technique to prevent migration or protrusion of GDCs, non detachable balloons or microcatheters/wires are used. Non detachable balloon has good protective effect with great effect to the flow in the parent artery which is risky for safe procedure. Microcatheter has little effect to the parent flow and poor protective effect.We have developed retrievable microbasket for neck protective technique which can be delivered and retrieved through standard 18 catheters. These baskets have good protective effect in aneurysm model.
