About this Procedure
Brain aneurysm coiling (endovascular coiling) is a minimally invasive treatment for a brain aneurysm, a weak, bulging spot in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. Instead of opening the skull, a neurosurgeon or interventional neuroradiologist reaches the aneurysm from inside the blood vessels and fills it with tiny coils of soft platinum wire. The coils change the blood flow inside the aneurysm so that a clot forms, sealing it off from the circulation.
Coiling may be used to treat an aneurysm that has already ruptured, causing bleeding around the brain, or to prevent an unruptured aneurysm from bursting. A ruptured aneurysm typically causes a sudden, severe "thunderclap" headache, often with nausea, vomiting, a stiff neck, sensitivity to light or loss of consciousness, and is a medical emergency. The decision to treat an unruptured aneurysm depends on your age, health, and the aneurysm's size, shape and location.
The procedure is done under general anaesthetic. A thin, flexible catheter is inserted into an artery, usually in the groin or wrist, and guided to the brain using X-ray imaging. The coils are passed through the catheter into the aneurysm. Because there is no open surgery, recovery is usually quicker: around two to four weeks for an unruptured aneurysm, and several weeks to months after a rupture. Follow-up scans check that the aneurysm stays sealed.
Brain aneurysm coiling is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram and Fortis Hospital, Noida. The treating specialist decides whether coiling or another treatment suits you after reviewing your angiogram, CT or MRI scans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is brain aneurysm coiling?
Brain aneurysm coiling (endovascular coiling) is a minimally invasive treatment in which soft platinum coils are placed inside a brain aneurysm through a catheter. The coils cause a clot to form and seal off the aneurysm, lowering the risk of bleeding. It is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR.
Who needs aneurysm coiling?
Aneurysm coiling may be recommended for a brain aneurysm that has ruptured or for an unruptured aneurysm at risk of bursting. The decision depends on your age, overall health and the aneurysm's size, shape and location. The treating specialist in India decides between coiling, surgical clipping or monitoring after reviewing your scans.
How is brain aneurysm coiling performed?
Brain aneurysm coiling is performed under general anaesthetic. A thin catheter is inserted into an artery, usually in the groin or wrist, and guided to the brain using X-ray imaging. Tiny platinum coils are then placed inside the aneurysm through the catheter, so no opening of the skull is needed.
How long is recovery after aneurysm coiling?
Recovery after coiling of an unruptured brain aneurysm usually takes two to four weeks, while recovery after a ruptured aneurysm takes several weeks to months, according to Cleveland Clinic. Your specialist will also arrange follow-up scans. International patients stay in Delhi NCR until the team confirms it is safe to fly.
