Aneurysm Treatment in Bangalore
Advanced Neurovascular Care by Dr. Safal S Shetty
Understanding Aneurysms
An aneurysm occurs when a weak spot in a blood vessel wall bulges like a balloon. If it ruptures, it can lead to severe bleeding in the brain — known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage — a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Most aneurysms go unnoticed until they rupture or cause symptoms. That’s why early diagnosis and expert treatment are critical.
Common Symptoms of Aneurysms
Aneurysm symptoms can appear without warning. Seek medical help immediately if you experience:
- Sudden, severe headache (“worst headache of your life”)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred or double vision
- Neck stiffness
- Seizures
- Drooping eyelid
- Loss of consciousness
If you notice these signs, call emergency services or visit a neurologist right away.
Aneurysms Causes & Risk Factors
Aneurysms can form due to several reasons, including:
- High blood pressure
- Smoking or alcohol use
- Family history of aneurysms
- Head injury
- Atherosclerosis (narrowed arteries)
- Certain infections or congenital conditions
Lifestyle changes and regular health checkups can help detect and prevent complications early.

Treatment Options for Aneurysms
1. Endovascular Coiling
A thin catheter is guided through a small incision in the groin to reach the brain’s blood vessels. Platinum coils are placed within the aneurysm to block blood flow and prevent rupture.
- Minimally invasive
- Short hospital stay
- Quick recovery
2. Flow Diversion Stent
Used for large or wide-neck aneurysms, this procedure places a special stent to redirect blood flow and promote healing.
- Advanced technique
- High success rate
- Long-term protection
3. Microsurgical Clipping
For specific cases, open surgery may be needed to place a clip around the aneurysm, stopping blood flow.
Performed by experienced neurosurgical teams in specialized centers.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Before treatment, accurate diagnosis is essential.
Dr. Safal uses advanced imaging technologies, including:
CT / MRI Scans
Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
These tests help determine the aneurysm’s size, shape, and location for a personalized treatment plan.
Recovery & Follow-Up Care
Post-treatment, patients are monitored closely to ensure full recovery.
Most return to normal life within weeks.
Follow-up care includes:
Regular neurological checkups
Blood pressure monitoring
