  2. Endovascular coiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_coiling

    Endovascular coiling is an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms and bleeding throughout the body. The procedure reduces blood circulation to an aneurysm or blood vessel through the implantation of detachable platinum wires, with the clinician inserting one or more into the blood vessel or aneurysm until it is determined that blood flow is no longer occurring within the space.

  3. Copper IUD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_IUD

    A copper intrauterine device (IUD), also known as an intrauterine coil, copper coil, or non-hormonal IUD, is a form of long-acting reversible contraception and one of the most effective forms of birth control available. [4] [3] It can also be used for emergency contraception within five days of unprotected sex. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essure

    A Facebook group called Essure Problems which had 33,140 members (as of 04/03/2017) called the method "E-hell" and mentioned mostly pain, bleeding, bloating and other side effects from the device. Some women had coils break and perforate their internal organs, or conceived and gave birth to a child, at a number well above what Bayer has been ...

  5. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_aneurysm_repair

    After a few years, the survival after repair is similar to EVAR or open surgery. This observation may be the result of durability problems with early endograft, with a corresponding need for additional procedures to repair endoleaks and other device-related issues. Newer, improved technology may reduce the need for such secondary procedures.

  6. Emergency bleeding control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_bleeding_control

    External bleeding is generally described in terms of the origin of the blood flow by vessel type. The basic categories of external bleeding are: Arterial bleeding: As the name suggests, blood flow originating in an artery. With this type of bleeding, the blood is typically bright red to yellowish in colour, due to the high degree of oxygenation.

  7. Bronchial artery embolization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchial_artery_embolization

    Mechanisms of Recurrent Haemoptysis after Super-Selective Bronchial Artery Coil Embolisation The study dissected the mechanisms of recurrent hemoptysis after ssBACE into four categories: recanalization of embolization, new vessel emergence, collateral from the same vessel, and collateral from other vessels. Recanalization was the most frequent ...

  8. Hemostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostasis

    Putting pressure and/or dressing to a bleeding wound slows the process of blood loss, allowing for more time to get to an emergency medical setting. Soldiers use this skill during combat when someone has been injured because this process allows for blood loss to be decreased, giving the system time to start coagulation.

  9. Coil winding technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_winding_technology

    In many cases, this may be conducted concurrently with the insertion of the coils. Since the coil's conductors have to pass through an oftentimes tight slot, the coils consist of a certain number of small spare cross-sections which are later connected in parallel. It is with this measure, that large conductor cross-sections may also be produced.
