What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain caused by a weakened arterial wall. If the aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to a life-threatening hemorrhagic stroke. Timely treatment through aneurysm clipping or endovascular coiling is essential to prevent rupture or re-bleeding.

Two Main Procedures to Treat Brain Aneurysms

1. Aneurysm Clipping (Open Surgery)

Aneurysm clipping is a surgical procedure where a neurosurgeon places a tiny metal clip at the base of the aneurysm to stop blood flow into it.

  • Performed through a craniotomy
  • Clip remains permanently to prevent rupture
  • Ideal for accessible aneurysms with a defined neck

2. Endovascular Coiling (Minimally Invasive)

Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive procedure where a catheter is guided through a blood vessel (usually from the groin) to the brain aneurysm. Soft platinum coils are inserted to fill the aneurysm, triggering clotting and preventing rupture.

  • No open surgery or skull opening required
  • Faster recovery, less post-op pain
  • Preferred for deep or surgically inaccessible aneurysms

Latest Technology Used in Brain Aneurysm Treatments Abroad

At our partner hospitals, both aneurysm clipping and coiling procedures are performed using next-generation technology for maximum safety and precision:

1. 3D Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)

Provides ultra-clear, real-time images of cerebral blood vessels for precise aneurysm localization and planning.

2. Biplane Angiography Systems

Used during coiling, these systems allow simultaneous dual-angle imaging for enhanced catheter navigation and coil placement accuracy.

3. Robotic-Assisted Catheter Navigation

Some leading centers use robotic systems to improve catheter precision, reduce procedure time, and limit radiation exposure.

4. Flow Diverter Stents and Embolization Devices

For complex or wide-neck aneurysms, flow diverters are placed to redirect blood flow and promote healing of the vessel wall.

5. Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM)

Used during clipping surgeries to continuously monitor brain function and avoid damage to critical areas.

Safety & Success Rates of Aneurysm Clipping and Coiling

How Safe Are These Procedures?

Thanks to technological advancements and expert neurosurgical teams, both treatments are considered safe and effective, especially when performed at high-volume, accredited centers.

Procedure

Safety & Success Rates

Endovascular Coiling

90–95% success for unruptured aneurysms
Minimal risk, shorter recovery, low complication rate

Aneurysm Clipping

>90% success rate for suitable aneurysms
Long-term durability, slightly higher risks than coiling

  • Coiling is preferred for elderly or high-risk patients
  • Clipping is ideal for young patients or complex aneurysms
  • Both have low mortality when done before rupture
