What Is Brain Aneurysm Embolization?

Brain aneurysm embolization is a minimally invasive neuroendovascular procedure used to treat weakened or bulging areas of cerebral blood vessels before they rupture or rebleed. By accessing the aneurysm through the blood vessels rather than open surgery, embolization allows specialists to secure the aneurysm while preserving normal blood flow to the brain.

At the Vascular and Neuroscience Institute of Southern California, brain aneurysm embolization is performed by highly trained neurovascular experts using advanced techniques such as coil embolization, flow diversion, and stent-assisted embolization. This approach offers patients access to the best brain aneurysm treatment in Southern California and Nevada with reduced recovery time and improved safety.

When Is Brain Aneurysm Embolization Recommended?

Brain aneurysm embolization may be recommended for both unruptured and ruptured aneurysms, including:

  • Unruptured Brain Aneurysms: To prevent rupture and life-threatening hemorrhage
  • Ruptured Aneurysms: To stop active bleeding and reduce the risk of rebleeding
  • Wide-Neck or Complex Aneurysms: Using stent-assisted or flow-diverting techniques
  • High-Risk Aneurysms: Based on size, location, growth, or patient risk factors
  • Recurrent Aneurysms: Previously treated aneurysms that require additional intervention
Our specialists are recognized as leaders in neuroendovascular therapy if you’re considering where to get the best brain aneurysm embolization in Southern California or Nevada.

What to Expect During Brain Aneurysm Embolization

Brain aneurysm embolization is performed in a specialized angiography suite under general anesthesia. A catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the aneurysm using real-time imaging. Coils, stents, or flow-diverting devices are then placed to seal off the aneurysm from circulation. The procedure typically takes several hours, depending on complexity. Patients are closely monitored afterward, often in an intensive care setting, to ensure stability and optimal recovery.
