Treatment Options

With important medical advances throughout the neurosurgical/neurological and endovascular fields, treatment for brain aneurysms is more promising than it was several years ago. There are more effective and less invasive treatment options for patients, who in years past, would have been told they had inoperable aneurysms.

Doctors consider several factors when deciding which treatment option is best for a particular patient. These include:

   • Size of Aneurysm
   • Location of Aneurysm
   • Type of Aneurysm
   • Condition of Patient
   • Medical History
   • Other Factors
