Yes,I'm afraid.: Talk to your treating neurologist to make sure everything is being done to lower this increased risk. Good luck.

Depends: Tias and stroke may happen after aneurysm coiling. Sometimes those are actually seizures. Talk to your doctor regarding further evaluation. Repeat angiogram or other vessel imaging may be needed t o rule out recurrence of aneurysm or integrity of the coil.
