Aneurysm Coiling/Balloon Assisted/Stent Assisted Coiling

A brain aneurysm is a weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain that bulges outward like a balloon. If left untreated, an aneurysm can rupture and cause a life-threatening brain hemorrhage known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Modern neurovascular treatment techniques such as aneurysm coiling, balloon-assisted coiling, and stent-assisted coiling allow experienced neuro and spine surgeons in Ghaziabad to treat brain aneurysms through minimally invasive endovascular procedures without the need for open brain surgery.

Aneurysm coiling is an advanced endovascular procedure used to seal a brain aneurysm from within the blood vessel. Tiny platinum coils are inserted into the aneurysm sac through a microcatheter, promoting clot formation and preventing blood from entering the aneurysm.

This treatment significantly reduces the risk of aneurysm rupture or rebleeding while preserving normal blood flow in the surrounding arteries.

Balloon-assisted coiling is a specialized technique used for wide-necked aneurysms. During the procedure, a temporary balloon is inflated across the aneurysm neck while coils are placed inside the aneurysm.

Benefits include:

• Better coil stability
• Improved aneurysm occlusion
• Reduced risk of coil migration
• Effective treatment of complex aneurysms

The balloon is removed once coil placement is completed.

Stent-assisted coiling is used for large, wide-necked, or complex aneurysms that cannot be treated effectively with standard coiling alone.

• A specialized stent is placed within the parent artery.
• The stent acts as a scaffold to support coil placement.
• Coils are then inserted into the aneurysm sac.
• The stent helps maintain normal blood flow while securing the coils.

This technique provides durable aneurysm treatment and improved long-term outcomes for complex cases.

• Unruptured Brain Aneurysms
• Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysms
• Wide-Neck Intracranial Aneurysms
• Complex Brain Aneurysms
• Recurrent Aneurysms
• Multiple Cerebral Aneurysms
• Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Due to Aneurysm Rupture

• Minimally Invasive Treatment
  No large scalp incision or open brain surgery is required.
• Reduced Recovery Time
  Patients generally recover faster compared to traditional aneurysm clipping surgery.
• Lower Surgical Trauma
  The procedure is performed through a small catheter inserted into an artery.
• Effective Aneurysm Protection
  Helps prevent aneurysm rupture and life-threatening bleeding.
• Shorter Hospital Stay
  Many patients experience reduced hospitalization and faster rehabilitation.
• Advanced Treatment for Complex Aneurysms
  Balloon-assisted and stent-assisted techniques expand treatment options for challenging aneurysm anatomy.

The procedure is performed in a specialized neuro-interventional suite under general anesthesia.

• A catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin or wrist.
• Advanced imaging guides the catheter to the brain aneurysm.
• Depending on the aneurysm type, coils alone, balloon-assisted coiling, or stent-assisted coiling is performed.
• The aneurysm is sealed from circulation.
• Blood flow continues normally through the parent vessel.
• The catheter is removed, and the access site is closed.

The procedure typically takes one to several hours, depending on aneurysm complexity.

Recovery varies depending on whether the aneurysm was ruptured or unruptured.

Most patients can expect:

• Neurological monitoring after the procedure
• Hospital stay ranging from one to several days
• Follow-up imaging studies
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Long-term monitoring to ensure aneurysm stability

Patients treated before aneurysm rupture generally experience faster recovery and better outcomes.

Brain aneurysm treatment requires highly specialized expertise in neurovascular and endovascular procedures. Experienced neuro and spine surgeons in Ghaziabad utilize advanced angiography systems, high-resolution imaging, and state-of-the-art endovascular techniques to provide safe and effective aneurysm treatment.

Their goal is to prevent aneurysm rupture, preserve neurological function, and achieve the best possible long-term outcomes.
