How to Treat an Aneurysm in the Brain
Headache is a very common problem nowadays. Most people use painkillers and try other drugs to get rid of this problem without knowing the root cause of the pain.
Aneurysm protects the aortic wall which is one of the main arteries of the human body. This pathology may have a different localization of the vessels of the brain, the thoracic and abdominal aorta and blood vessels of the lower limbs.
Patient may experience intracranial hypertension which occurs due to shortage of cerebrospinal fluid, which protects the brain from damage due to impact, and promotes the removal of metabolic waste products.

Treatment of can be done with the help of an operation. Despite taking the preventive measures, the patient remains under the constant supervision of a physician. Currently, there are several kinds of operations that can be applied depending on the severity and the location of the aneurysm.

Clipping of the aneurysm is one way to operate the disease. Operation includes applying a special clip that prevents the blood flow at the site. This operation, therefore, reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture. In this case, the main artery remains intact. This operation is the most difficult in vascular surgery due to the high risk of damage to the vessel.

Another way to treat this disease is Endovascular embolization of the aneurysm. This process involves usage of special vascular catheters (2 mm diameter) that are applied to the femoral arteries. The process of embolization i.e. required to reduce blood flow in the region of the aneurysm to prevent further delamination.

The last and final way to treat this disease is vascular prosthesis. The operation is performed in the public domain. Vascular surgeon with additional methods of research determines the exact location of the aneurysm, than try to replace the area of an artery Dacron.
