    An anterior communicating aneurysm prior to (A) and immediately following coil embolization (B). This immediate post-treatment result was graded as 3 (definite residual aneurysm). Typically this appearance would be scored as 1. The stringent grade application reflects the subjectivity of the grading system. At follow-up (C) the aneurysm occlusion was graded 1 (complete occlusion) and recanalization was scored as 2 (improved angiographic appearance).
