Intracranial Aneurysm Surgery

Intracranial aneurysm surgery is a medical procedure to treat a bulging blood vessel in the brain, which can pose a risk of rupture and cause bleeding. There are two main surgical approaches: clipping and endovascular coiling. Clipping involves placing a metal clip around the base of the aneurysm to stop blood flow, while coiling inserts tiny coils into the aneurysm to induce clotting and seal it off. These surgeries aim to prevent serious complications like hemorrhagic stroke, enhancing the patient's safety and long-term health. The choice of procedure depends on the aneurysm's size, shape, and location.
