Abstract

We describe use of a novel guide, catheter with a soft and pliable, 6‐cm or 12‐cm distal segment that enables distal, including intracranial, placement—the Neuron guide catheter (Penumbra, San Leandro, CA)—in the treatment of 11 cases with a range of neuroendovascular lesions. We were able to advance the Neuron guide catheter to the intended level in each case and suffered no complications related to catheter spasm, dissection, thrombosis or thromboembolism. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
