An aneurysm is a spindle- or sac-shaped expansion of an arterial blood vessel. The cause of an aneurysm is a congenital or acquired change in the vessel wall in the affected vessel segment.
Aneurysms are always accompanied by a certain risk of rupture - this means that the aneurysm can rupture, which, depending on the location of the affected vessel, can lead to serious health complications or life-threatening consequences for patients. The risk of a rupture depends, among other things, on the size of the aneurysm - the larger an aneurysm, the greater the risk of a rupture, because as the diameter of the aneurysm increases, the wall tension of the weakened artery wall also increases.
When aneurysms in the brain rupture, they lead to severe cerebral hemorrhage and often require surgical treatment to prevent these and other complications.
As a specialist in neurosurgery, I have specialized among other things, in,the surgical treatment of aneurysms and offer patients different surgical procedures, including the so-called ICG angiography, in which the blood flow in the vessels of the brain is controlled directly during the operation A special operating microscope is observed so that the results of the treatment can be checked immediately. The technique of indocyanine fluorescence is used for the operation; Before the treatment, the patient receives a fluorescent dye, which is made to glow during the procedure using a special light - thanks to the immediate image control, an immediate correction of the vascular clip is possible and vessel narrowing and vascular occlusion caused by the vascular clip as well as inadequate closure of the aneurysm are specifically avoided.
Every operation is preceded by very precise planning. The exact procedure of the operation, aftercare, possible risks and alternatives are discussed calmly in advance. As your doctor, it is particularly important to me that you feel well informed and in good hands at all times during consultation, examination and treatment. I take enough time for every concern and am always personally available to answer any questions you may have before or after a procedure.
