Cerebral aneurysm treatment options

In the case of a brain aneurysm, the surgeon will normally operate only if there is a high risk of rupture. The potential risk of brain damage resulting from surgical complications is too great. As for AAA, the likelihood of a rupture depends on the size and location of the aneurysm. Instead of surgery, patients receive guidance on how to monitor and manage the risk factors for a ruptured brain aneurysm, for example, monitoring blood pressure. If a ruptured cranial aneurysm results in a subarachnoid hemorrhage, surgery is likely. This is considered a medical emergency. This procedure would aim to close off the ruptured artery in the hope of preventing another bleed.
