Get minimally invasive, catheter-based treatment of brain aneurysms focused on safety, precision, and preserving neurological function.
Neuroendovascular coiling is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat brain aneurysms without open surgery. Rather than performing a craniotomy, Dr. Parham Yashar uses advanced catheter-based techniques to navigate through the blood vessels to the aneurysm and fill it with tiny platinum coils, effectively blocking blood flow and reducing the risk of rupture.
This technique is ideal for treating many aneurysms, especially those that are deep within the brain or located in areas that are difficult to access surgically. Dr. Yashar is highly skilled in both open and endovascular neurosurgery, allowing him to tailor treatment to your unique anatomy and risk profile.
Dr. Yashar may recommend endovascular coiling if:
Conditions that may require coiling include:
The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia to keep you comfortable and still.
A catheter is inserted into an artery in your groin or wrist and navigated up to the brain.
Once the catheter reaches the aneurysm, Dr. Yashar carefully places platinum coils inside the aneurysm sac.
The coils induce clotting within the aneurysm, blocking blood flow and preventing rupture.
In some cases, balloon-assisted or stent-assisted coiling is used for wide-neck or complex aneurysms.
Endovascular coiling typically offers a quicker and less painful recovery than open surgical clipping. Most patients can expect:
For many patients, yes. Coiling is less invasive, associated with shorter recovery time, and often used for deep or complex aneurysms. However, some aneurysms are better treated with surgical clipping. Dr. Yashar will determine the best approach based on your unique case.
As with any brain procedure, there are risks such as blood vessel injury, clot formation, or incomplete occlusion. However, Dr. Yashar’s extensive experience in neuroendovascular surgery greatly minimizes these risks.
Some coiled aneurysms may require follow-up treatments or re-coiling if the aneurysm reopens. Dr. Yashar provides regular follow-up imaging to ensure your continued safety.
Yes. In fact, coiling is often the preferred treatment in emergencies involving ruptured aneurysms because of its speed and reduced invasiveness.
