Endovascular Surgery PROCEDURE
Aneurysm Coiling
A minimally invasive procedure to treat a brain aneurysm. Soft platinum coils are deployed into the aneurysm to induce clotting, preventing it from rupturing.
Symptoms & Indications
You may need this procedure if you are experiencing symptoms such as:
- ✓ Sudden, severe headache (if ruptured)
- ✓ Vision changes
- ✓ Pain above and behind the eye
- ✓ Weakness or numbness
The Surgical Procedure: Step-by-Step
1
A catheter is inserted into an artery, usually in the groin or wrist.
2
Using fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance), the catheter is navigated to the brain.
3
Microcoils are deployed into the aneurysm sac to block blood flow.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery is generally faster than open surgery (craniotomy). Most patients stay in the hospital for a day or two for observation.
Risks & Considerations
Risks include stroke, bleeding at the puncture site, or incomplete occlusion of the aneurysm.
