This prospective, randomized, multicenter study compares the efficacy of the Matrix versus bare metal coils. A group of 626 patients were divided between the 2 coil types and aneurysm recurrence and hemorrhage were assessed 1 year after procedures. Recurrences were associated with initial incomplete obliterations and the bare metal coils were not inferior to Matrix coils. Thus, due to cost differences, utilization of Matrix coils may not be justified.
