Giant Aneurysms and AVM Surgery

AVM Surgery in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

Giant aneurysms are larger than 3 cm in diameter. The most common type of surgery for giant aneurysms is open surgical repair. This type of surgery involves making an incision in the chest or abdomen in order to access the aneurysm. Once the aneurysm is accessed, it is usually clipped or coiled to prevent it from rupturing. Visit our neurosurgery hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

Why is the procedure performed?

Giant aneurysms and AVM surgery is performed to correct a problem with the blood vessels in the brain. An aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in a blood vessel, and an AVM is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels. These problems can cause bleeding in the brain, which can lead to stroke or even death. Surgery to remove the aneurysm or AVM can help prevent these complications.
