Brain Aneurysm Coiling in Pakistan

Safer, minimally invasive care to treat brain aneurysms — performed by Dr. Yousuf Memon.

What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a weak, balloon-like bulge in a blood vessel of the brain. Like an overfilled balloon, it can rupture and cause life‑threatening bleeding. Early detection and minimally invasive treatment help prevent complications.

Causes & Warning Signs

Common Causes

  • High blood pressure damaging arteries
  • Atherosclerosis (hardening of blood vessels)
  • Genetic weakness or family history
  • Trauma or injury
  • Rare infections

Warning Signs

  • Sudden severe headache (“worst headache of life”)
  • Nausea, vomiting, dizziness
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Weakness on one side of body
  • Loss of consciousness in severe cases

How Brain Aneurysm Coiling Works

  1. 1

    Evaluation – MRI, CT scan, or angiography is done to locate and study the aneurysm.

  2. 2

    Preparation – Patient is given anesthesia and a small incision is made in the groin.

  3. 3

    Catheter Navigation – A thin tube (catheter) is guided through blood vessels to the aneurysm using imaging.

  4. 4

    Coil Placement – Tiny platinum coils are placed inside the aneurysm, causing clotting and sealing it off.

  5. 5

    Monitoring – The patient is observed in ICU for 1–2 days before recovery in a ward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once the aneurysm is sealed with coils, it is effectively treated. However, regular follow-ups are recommended to ensure long‑term stability.

Typically 1–3 hours, depending on the aneurysm’s size and location.

No. It is performed under anesthesia so you do not feel pain during the procedure.

Most patients in Pakistan resume routine activities within 1–2 weeks (doctor‑advised).

Yes, especially for deep or delicate aneurysms where traditional surgery carries higher risk.
