Help With Medical Question

lizbud, I only know what I've read. I once worked in Neuro ICU, and back then this treatment wasn't available. All they could do for an unruptured aneurysm was a full crani with clip. This sounds so much nicer - for all involved.

Do you feel comfortable with your Neuro Surgeon?

I was stunned when I saw this procedure.

This is really new. Like two years old new-when I was looking at operation reports the embolectomy/clipping was the only way to treat this.

With an craniotomy/anuerysm clip the would shave your head, cut a hole on the skull, isolate the vessel and clip it.

Sounds like the turnaround time is minimal and you may not be looking at any extended hospital time.

Wow, I am floored by this surgery....Very interesting and groundbreaking.

Here's a link to a Google search result of "aneurysm support groups". You may want to lurk on a few and see if you can find anything out.

I'm not really familiar with the procedure but I have a cousin that has a brain anurysm (sp?) but because of his other health problems and the location of his they can't do surgery on him for it.
