Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Combination drug regimen with regular assessment
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Endovascular coil embolization
Minimally invasive procedure where platinum coils are placed inside the aneurysm through a catheter to block blood flow and prevent rupture. The preferred approach for many intracranial aneurysms.
Blood pressure control therapy
Antihypertensive medications to maintain optimal blood pressure and reduce hemodynamic stress on the aneurysm wall, lowering rupture risk.
Additional treatment options
Surgical aneurysm clipping
Open brain surgery to place a titanium clip across the aneurysm neck, isolating it from normal blood circulation. Gold standard for certain aneurysm locations.
surgicalCT/MR angiography surveillance
Regular imaging follow-up to monitor aneurysm characteristics and detect any changes in size or morphology that might indicate intervention need.
monitoringSmoking cessation and alcohol reduction
Eliminating tobacco use and limiting alcohol consumption to reduce cardiovascular risk factors that contribute to aneurysm growth and rupture.
lifestyleWhen to seek medical help
