Systems and methods for coating of spiral intracranial aneurysm coils, e.g., a Guglielmi Detachable Coil (GDC), such that only selected surfaces along the spiral coil are coated with a polymer via an atomized polymer deposition process. The resulting device is a detachable aneurysm coil system which preserves the mechanical geometry and flexibility of the coil, and delivers specific agents to promote wound healing.

A coaxial stent system is described in which an inner treatment stent is configured to be coaxially positioned inside an outer anchoring stent. The outer anchoring stent is adapted for insertion into a blood vessel and anchoring to the blood vessel at a position where the outer anchoring stent spans a neck of an aneurysm. A method for endovascular treatment of aneurysms is also described.
