There are problems with coils, it sometimes needs to be repeated, and the coils sometimes migrate. It is more likely though that the angiogram will show that you are just fine and the lesion has clotted.

The reason for coiling instead of clipping was the location, supposedly unsuitable and more risks involved if they had gone with clipping. My cerebral angiogram has been rescheduled for the 28th of this month, so praying everything is good...I'm ready to be done with all of this for sure!! Thanks so much for replying, I really love hearing from everyone!!
