Figure 2 Cropped volume-rendering picture shows the thin unraveled wire of the coil descending along the right common carotid axis through the thoracic and abdominal aorta, forming a loop in the right common iliac axis (white arrowhead) and then stopping at the left femoral bifurcation, forming a highly radiopaque tangle (white arrow). Several calcifications of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries can also be visible as radiopaque bodies forming a discontinuous shell around the aorta.
