Aneurysms

Department of Aneurysms

An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel. An aneurysm can burst. This is called a rupture. A ruptured aneurysm causes bleeding inside the body and often leads to death. Some aneurysms may not cause symptoms. You might not know you have an aneurysm even if it is large.

Treatment of some aneurysms may only involve regular health checkups and imaging tests. If an aneurysm breaks open, emergency open surgery is needed. Sometimes a less-invasive treatment called endovascular surgery may be done.

Types

1.Berry Aneurysms: Small, saccular aneurysms typically found in the arteries of the brain.

2.Fusiform Aneurysms: A more elongated, spindle-shaped dilation of the artery.

3.Dissecting Aneurysms: Involves a tear in the artery wall, causing blood to flow between layers.

Diagnosis

1.Imaging Studies: Non-invasive methods like CT angiography or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can provide detailed images of blood vessels, aiding in the detection of aneurysms.

2.Cerebral Angiogram: A more invasive procedure involving the injection of contrast dye into the blood vessels, allowing for precise visualization of the aneurysm.

Treatment

1.Clipping: Involves placing a metal clip around the neck of the aneurysm to prevent rupture.

2.Coiling (Endovascular Embolization): Minimally invasive procedure where a coil is placed within the aneurysm to induce clotting and prevent rupture.

3.Flow Diverters: Devices deployed to redirect blood flow, promoting the healing of the aneurysm.

4.Surgical Bypass: Redirecting blood flow around the aneurysm to reduce pressure and prevent rupture.
