There were no clinical or demographic characteristic differences between the LOBO and coil groups. Proximal SAE was achieved with a single LOBO device in all patients. The mean number of coils used was 4.6 per case (median 3.5),\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001.
