A member asked:
Please advise what is better having an aneurysm clipped or coiled, and what are the risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex question: The decision to coil or clip an aneurysm is complex and mostly depends on the size, shape and location of the aneurysm. Both surgery and coiling carry risks of bleeding or stroke. The coiling procedure is less invasive generally.
