Does brain aneurysm intervention have a high success rate?

Interventional surgery for cerebral aneurysm is a surgical procedure for treating brain tumors. It is a way of treating brain artery tumors through medical surgery. Treatment of cerebral artery tumors requires craniotomy, which involves certain risks. Generally, the success rate of interventional surgery for cerebral aneurysm depends on the condition and/or individual constitution. If the constitution or disease is severe, the success rate will be lower.

Is the success rate of cerebral artery intervention high?

It can be treated with minimally invasive surgery or radiotherapy. The surgical methods generally include interventional embolization and craniotomy and clipping. However, it also depends on the specific condition and the technical level of the hospital. The success rate is relative. It also depends on the experience of the surgeon and the technical level of the hospital. Any operation has risks, but some diseases must be treated with surgery, so what you can do is to choose a neurosurgery specialty hospital or a high-level hospital as much as possible. . Brain tumor patients are not very sensitive to chemotherapy, and complications and side effects during surgery or radiotherapy are relatively large. They can cooperate with conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine to reduce complications and side effects.

Indications

Aneurysm intervention is suitable for:

1. Huge aneurysms that are difficult to remove or difficult to access surgically (such as aneurysms in the cavernous sinus segment, the origin of the ophthalmic artery, and the vertebral-basilar artery system).

2. Patients who are elderly or have other systemic diseases and cannot tolerate surgery.

3. Those whose surgical clipping failed.

4. Fusiform wide-necked or no-necked aneurysm, or saccular aneurysm.

5. All aneurysms except those with contraindications can be treated with embolization first. If embolization is unsuccessful, surgical treatment can still be considered.

Contraindications

1. Very small aneurysm.

2. Small and wide-necked aneurysms.

3. Aneurysm neck stenosis that makes it difficult for the balloon to pass is a contraindication for detachable balloon embolization.

Prepare

1. Patient preparation

(1) Explain the purpose of treatment and possible complications and accidents to the patient and his family, and sign an agreement.

(2) Explain the treatment process and precautions to the patient to eliminate concerns and gain cooperation during the operation.

(3) Check heart, liver, and kidney function, as well as blood routine and blood clotting time.

(4) Necessary imaging examinations, such as CT, MRI, etc.

(5) Iodine and anesthetic agents should be handled as required by the pharmacopoeia.

(6) Do not eat or drink 4 hours before surgery.

(7) Routine skin preparation is performed at the puncture site, and children and uncooperative patients are given sedatives or general anesthesia.

(8) Establish intravenous access to facilitate intraoperative medication and rescue.

2. Equipment preparation

3. Drug preparation includes the preparation of various rescue drugs.
