Number 3 aneurysm in Matrix group, 2-week implant.
A, Anteroposterior DSA of the brachiocephalic artery shows a moderately wide-necked aneurysm.
B, Anteroposterior DSA obtained immediately after embolization with Matrix coils shows near-complete occlusion of the aneurysm.
C, Anteroposterior DSA obtained 2 weeks after embolization shows marked coil compaction.
D, Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification, ×1.5. Coronal section obtained through the aneurysm cavity. Microcompaction and inflammation along neck are shown.
E, Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification, ×25. Magnification of the area shown in panel D; substantial inflammation is shown along neck.

Number 9 aneurysm in Matrix group, 10-week implant.
A, Anteroposterior DSA of the brachiocephalic artery shows a wide-necked aneurysm.
B, Anteroposterior DSA obtained immediately after embolization with Matrix coils shows the aneurysm is nearly completely occluded.
C, Anteroposterior DSA obtained 2 weeks after embolization shows slight coil compaction.
D, Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification, ×1.3. Coronal section obtained through the aneurysm cavity. Marked microcompaction and unorganized thrombus are shown. There is no tissue across the aneurysm neck.
E, Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification, ×25. Magnification of the area shown in panel D. Dense cellular infiltration near coils in the dome is seen.

Number 15 aneurysm in HydroCoil group, 6-week implant.
A, Anteroposterior DSA of the brachiocephalic artery shows a wide-necked aneurysm.
B, Anteroposterior DSA obtained immediately after embolization with HydroCoils shows the aneurysm is nearly completely occluded.
C, Anteroposterior DSA obtained 2 weeks after embolization shows the aneurysm remaining stable.
D, Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification, ×1.1. Coronal section obtained through the aneurysm cavity. No substantial inflammatory response is present. Microcompaction is absent. A small part of persistent unorganized thrombus is shown in the aneurysm dome.
E, Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification, ×10. Magnification of the area shown in panel D. Cellular fibrous tissue is shown across the neck.
