About Repair Intracranial Aneurysm

Repair of an intracranial aneurysm is a critical neurosurgical procedure performed to treat a weakened, bulging area in a brain artery before it ruptures or after a hemorrhage. This life-saving intervention aims to prevent a catastrophic stroke or re-bleeding. The two primary surgical approaches are microsurgical clipping, where a tiny metal clip is placed at the aneurysm's neck to isolate it from blood flow, and endovascular coiling, a minimally invasive technique where platinum coils are inserted via a catheter to fill and clot the aneurysm. The choice of procedure depends on the aneurysm's size, location, shape, and the patient's overall health. This complex surgery requires a highly skilled neurosurgical team and advanced imaging technology to ensure precision and patient safety.

Key Highlights

    Prevents life-threatening rupture and hemorrhagic stroke.Offers both traditional open surgery (clipping) and minimally invasive (endovascular) options.Utilizes advanced imaging like angiography for precise, targeted treatment.Performed by specialized neurosurgeons in high-tech medical centers.Aims to eliminate the aneurysm while preserving normal blood flow to the brain.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Aneurysm discovered incidentally on imaging that is large (>7mm) or has a high-risk shape.
  • Symptomatic unruptured aneurysm causing headaches, vision changes, or pain.
  • History of a previous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from a different aneurysm.
  • Family history of intracranial aneurysms or certain connective tissue disorders.
  • A ruptured aneurysm (emergency surgery) to prevent re-bleeding.
  • Aneurysm growth observed on follow-up scans.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive neurological evaluation and imaging (CTA, MRA, or cerebral angiography).
  • Pre-operative blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray to assess fitness for surgery.
  • Discussion of procedure risks, benefits, and surgical approach (clipping vs. coiling).
  • Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before the procedure.
  • Informed consent process detailing the planned intervention.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding, infection, or blood clots at the surgical site or in the brain.
  • Stroke due to vessel injury or spasm, potentially causing weakness, speech difficulty, or vision loss.
  • Damage to surrounding brain tissue or cranial nerves.
  • Seizures or cognitive changes post-surgery.
  • Incomplete aneurysm occlusion or recurrence requiring further treatment.
  • Reaction to anesthesia or contrast dye.
  • Hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain), sometimes requiring a shunt.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial monitoring in a Neuro-ICU for 1-3 days to watch for complications like vasospasm.
  • Management of post-operative pain, nausea, and blood pressure.
  • Gradual mobilization with assistance; physical/occupational therapy may be needed.
  • Medications to prevent seizures, manage pain, and control blood pressure.
  • Follow-up imaging (angiogram) to confirm successful aneurysm treatment.
  • Avoidance of heavy lifting, straining, and driving for several weeks as advised.
  • Regular follow-up visits with the neurosurgeon and neurologist for long-term monitoring.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-14 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

At my age, you worry about...

At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Narayanamurthy never made me feel that way. He explained my medication changes slowly, and his manner was very calming. The clinic at MGM was busy, but he took his time.
