The coil embolization was safely performed by BACE. Double BACE allowed planning of the distal end of the coil embolization site and the embolization segment prior to coil placement. We achieved sufficient friction to prevent coil migration by choosing detachable microcoils with a median diameter 1.82 times larger than that of the target vessel and a VER ≥12%, allowing us to embolize short vascular segments.
