Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Feng
Left and right communicating artery aneurysms can generally be treated using the following methods:
1. Surgical treatment: Craniotomy to directly clip or remove the aneurysm is a common approach. This method allows direct treatment of the aneurysm but carries higher risks, including complications such as brain injury and vascular damage.
2. Interventional treatment:
Endovascular coiling: A microcatheter is used to deliver metal coils or other embolic materials into the aneurysm to fill it, preventing blood flow into the aneurysm and thereby reducing the risk of rupture.
Stent-assisted coiling: For aneurysms with complex shapes or locations, a stent may be used during coiling to support the vessel wall and maintain blood flow.
When determining the treatment plan, doctors will comprehensively consider factors such as the size and location of the aneurysm, the patient's age, and overall health condition. Additionally, patients should maintain a healthy diet and regular作息 habits during treatment.
