Future Measures for Treatment of a Brain Aneurysm
Brain aneurysm refers to lumps which are found in blood vessels. It is also known as cerebral aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm. In some cases, brain aneurysm causes bleeding in the brain (i.e. hemorrhagic stroke). The brain aneurysm is most prevalent between age group of 35 to 60. It can be caused by the high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and heredity, abnormal blood flow. The treatment for aneurysm is based on the type of aneurysm and its size.
The hemorrhage is so severe that it can lead to stroke, coma, or even death. Various factors contribute to its occurrence, including injury or trauma, cigarette smoking, blood infections, and others. Individuals suffering from this condition of brain aneurysm can be diagnoses through multiple means or techniques, including cerebral angiogram, Computed Tomography (CT) scan, Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA), Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA) scan, and many others.
Lots of Engineers as well as physicians are constantly working on newly developed technology to diagnosis the severity of the disease and treat a brain aneurysm more and more effectively.
One such that effort include Endovascular therapy. Every year, aneurysms are treated by taking extra effort reaching inside the blood vessel.
UT Health Science Centre for Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Surgery is a multi-specialty center where surgeons here conducted highest surgical training and Endovascular training.
This specialty training enabled them to treat a brain aneurysm either from inside the blood vessel or outside the blood vessel depending upon the treatment requirement.
Similarly, efforts from the side of scientists are also taken initiated to study more about this. Later, to make the treatment advanced and effective without surgery.Doctors are the last chance of hope for any medical emergency.
