A brain aneurysm is brought about by weakening and bulging of a blood vessel. Some brain aneurysms pose no danger while others can be life-threatening if they burst. An aneurysm coiling
is a relatively new procedure applied in the treatment of certain brain aneurysms.
In this procedure, there is no need to make an opening in the skull. Instead, coils are introduced into the aneurysm through a catheter inserted through the blood vessel into the aneurysm. Coils are put into the bulge where they cause blood flow reduction and initiate the formation of blood clots. This makes the aneurysm safer because it reduces the risk of filling with blood and subsequent rupture.
This process is done under the guidance of special imaging technology. It helps the specialist to see the blood vessels clearly and introduce the coils carefully. The absence of a big cut in the head can lead to easier recovery for appropriate candidates after the procedure.
At IRFacilities, the use of advanced image-guided treatments is provided for various complex vascular and neurological problems. Patients suffering from brain aneurysms will have specialist examination and treatment plan prepared by Dr Sandeep Sharma.
The optimal treatment method depends on the features such as the position of the aneurysm, its size and shape, as well as the general condition of the patient. An assessment should be made first to choose the right procedure.
