With state-of-the-art equipment, the most experienced surgeons, and the most compassionate nursing deals treatment at ANI can prevent long term treatment needs for your patients.
Aneurysm Treatment
The best time to treat an aneurysm is before it bleeds. For best results, treatment should be by
an experienced team that has treated a high volume of cases.
Basilar aneurysms are not usually treated due to the high risk associated with the procedure.
However, the surgeons at ANI are very experienced and maintain quality outcomes related to
these complex aneurysm cases. Our surgeons are able to review multiple treatment options and
select the most appropriate treatment that will provide the best outcome with minimal risk of
recurrence.
Aneurysm Procedures
At the CHI St Vincent Arkansas Neuroscience Institute, our neurosurgeons have skills in highly
complex vascular aneurysm surgery. The two common procedures for a ruptured brain
aneurysms are:
- Surgical clipping: involves the neurosurgeon closing the rupture by placing a metal clip on the
neck of the aneurysm. This will stop the blood flow that feeds the aneurysm.
- Endovascular coiling: The surgeon inserts a catheter into an artery, usually in your groin, and
threads a soft wire through your body into the aneurysm causing the blood to dot.
This will effectively seal off the aneurysm from the artery. Endovascular coiling is less invasive
and has a quicker recovery time. However, with this option additional procedures may be necessary.
When you come to the Arkansas Neuroscience Institute our neurosurgeons will work with our patients and thoroughly analyze their condition
to determine the best procedure to treat the aneurysm.
Overall health, age, and the size and location of the aneurysm will factor into which procedure is best for a patient.
