Microcatheter Shape Adjustment during Coil Embolization with the Leonis Mova Steerable Microcatheter.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Leonis Mova (SB-Kawasumi Laboratories, Kanagawa, Japan) is a steerable microcatheter with a hand-operated dial that can be used to adjust the angle of the catheter tip. This steerable microcatheter has predominantly been used as an intermediate catheter. Herein, we report a case in which an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage was treated with coil embolization using the Leonis Mova microcatheter.

Case presentation

A 53-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital for the treatment of a sudden onset of headache and vomiting caused by a subarachnoid hemorrhage detected on CT. DSA showed a 7.5-mm left internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysm with multiple blebs, which we treated with coil embolization under general anesthesia. After placeme
