WHAT IS Neuroendovascular Coiling for Brain Aneurysms?

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.

When Is Endovascular Coiling Recommended?

Dr. Yashar may recommend endovascular coiling if:

  • You’ve been diagnosed with an unruptured brain aneurysm
  • You’ve experienced a ruptured aneurysm and need immediate treatment
  • The aneurysm is located in a hard-to-reach area of the brain
  • You are not a good candidate for open surgical clipping
  • You want a less invasive treatment option with a faster recovery time

Conditions that may require coiling include:

  • Saccular (berry) aneurysms
  • Wide-neck aneurysms (with adjunct devices such as stents or balloons)
  • Multiple intracranial aneurysms
  • Aneurysms discovered during evaluation for stroke or headache

What to Expect During AN 
Endovascular Coiling Procedure

Dr. Yashar performs coiling in a specialized neurointerventional suite using real-time X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) and microcatheters. Generally, the process follows the following steps:
Anesthesia

The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia to keep you comfortable and still.

Vascular Access

A catheter is inserted into an artery in your groin or wrist and navigated up to the brain.

Aneurysm Access

Once the catheter reaches the aneurysm, Dr. Yashar carefully places platinum coils inside the aneurysm sac.

Sealing Off the Aneurysm

The coils induce clotting within the aneurysm, blocking blood flow and preventing rupture.

Adjunct Devices (if needed)

In some cases, balloon-assisted or stent-assisted coiling is used for wide-neck or complex aneurysms.

Recovery & Outcomes

Endovascular coiling typically offers a quicker and less painful recovery than open surgical clipping. Most patients can expect:

  • Hospital stay of one to two days
  • Return to light activity within a few days
  • Follow-up imaging (MRI or angiogram) within months to ensure success
  • Long-term monitoring for recurrence or new aneurysm formation
Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Brain Aneurysm Coiling

Is coiling safer than open brain surgery?
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.
What are the risks of coiling?
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.
Will I need additional procedures?
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.
Is coiling effective for ruptured aneurysms?
Yes. In fact, coiling is often the preferred treatment in emergencies involving ruptured aneurysms because of its speed and reduced invasiveness.
