The Common Symptoms, Risk Factors, Treatment and Outlook of Brain Aneurysms

Treatment of brain aneurysms. The treatment of a brain aneurysm may depend on whether or not it is ruptured or unruptured. here are two available treatment options for ruptured brain aneurysms: open surgery or endovascular treatment. Which treatment is used will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the doctor. Endovascular treatment, or endovascular coiling is less invasive but may require repeating. Instead of making a direct cut or incision upon the brain, endovascular treatment uses a catheter to reach the rupture. Endovascular treatment is most commonly utilized in cases where patients are unable to go through surgery due to life-threatening complications that would occur.

Unruptured aneurysms are often accidentally discovered on ultrasounds or brain scans. Unruptured aneurysms are usually treated through surgical clipping or endovascular treatment.
