Overview of Aneurysm Treatment Options

Aneurysms are abnormal bulges in blood vessel walls, particularly dangerous when they occur in the brain. Understanding treatment options is crucial for effective management.

Main Treatment Options

  • Observation and Medical Management: For small, unruptured aneurysms monitored through imaging.
  • Medications: Used for managing blood pressure and reducing risk factors.
  • Surgical Techniques: Neurosurgical clipping and endovascular coiling are common methods.
  • Endovascular Techniques: Flow diversion and stents help in treating larger aneurysms.

Choosing the right treatment depends on the aneurysm's characteristics and patient health. Always consult a medical professional for personalized advice.
