3 Treatments to Cure Ruptured Brain Aneurysms
by Manya Verma Health care and lifestyleRuptured brain aneurysms account for 40 percent of
fatality among patients who suffer from it. Of those who live on, around 66
percent are struck down with certain permanent neurological deficits.
Thus, according to the leading neurologist doctors, precise and
early detection of a ruptured brain aneurysm is crucial, as the preliminary
hemorrhage may lead to harmful neurologic outcomes or even death.
·
When it comes to a
ruptured brain aneurysm, there are two commonly implemented treatment options.
These include:
1. Surgical clipping
o
It’s a procedure
that involves the sealing of an aneurysm.
o
Amid this treatment
a neurosurgeon in Gurgaon extricates a section
of your skull (craniotomy) for evaluating the degree by which the aneurysm
has affected your brain and tracing the specific blood vessels
that provide sustenance to the aneurysm.
o
Subsequently, a
small metal clip is inserted on the dilated part of the aneurysm for putting a
stop to the blood flow into it.
2. Endovascular coiling
o
As compared to
surgical clipping, endovascular coiling is a less invasive treatment
choice.
o
During the
procedure, a surgeon at a neuro hospital places a hollow, plastic catheter into an artery, ideally in your groin
area, and connects it to the aneurysm while making the tube pass through your
body.
o
Then, the
surgeon makes use of guide wire that, in turn, pushes a thin platinum wire
into the aneurysm via the catheter.
o
Eventually, the
wire coils up within and interrupts the flow of blood into the aneurysm and
bolts it off from the feeding artery.
·
In fact, both these treatments meted out for alleviating ruptured brain
aneurysms are much costlier than that applicable
to unruptured aneurysms.
·
The cost of
treating a brain aneurysm by surgical clipping almost doubles up once the
aneurysm undergoes a rupture.
· Alongside, the cost of treating a brain aneurysm through the procedure
of endovascular coiling amplifies by roughly 70 percent after the
aneurysm experiences a rupture.
·
It may also be
noted that both neurologist treatment procedures can
subject you to potential risks, which usually include hemorrhage or bleeding in
the brain and stroke or the lack of blood flow into the brain.
·
Endovascular coiling,
to some extent, poses a higher risk of the requirement for a repeat
procedure in the long run because of a probable renewal of the aneurysm.
3. Flow diverters
o
As per the best
neurologist in India, latest treatments which are relevant for curing a
brain aneurysm include:
§
Flow diverters
§
Tubular stent
implants
o
Both these
procedures facilitate in the diversion of the flow of blood
from the aneurysm sac.
o
Consequently, the
diversion helps in offering hindrance to the blood movement inside the
aneurysm, energizes the body for thorough healing of the site, and encourages
the rebuilding of the parent artery.
o
In particular,
flow diverters may be safe and helpful in treating large-sized
aneurysms which other treatment options may not comply.
Your consulting neurosurgeon in collaboration with
a neurologist at Paras, considered the best neurosurgery hospital in
Delhi, will put in a recommendation
of an appropriate treatment depending on the location,
size, and general appearance of the brain aneurysm,
your capability to live through the treatment procedure, and several
other factors.
